What's your desk/workstation of choice for hacking?
metajack: I wanted a thin surface (relatively) with legs and no drawers or gimmicks.  I ended up buying a dining room table from West Elm which fit the bill perfectly.  Later I added two small raised shelves (which my speakers and various doodads sit on) to the desk which I built by using Ikea kitchen cabinet legs and some random Ikea file cabinet drawer fronts.It's simple and it works great.
