PS, my original pain cave was also an unglamorous basement. Dreary as hell but got the job done.
Mine is a dreary basement - until we got the walls recovered with white stucco/plaster stuff it looked like something out of "Silence of the Lambs", although it does have a cement floor not dirt. The one "luxury" I've granted myself is to hook up a 32" LCD using a folding ceiling-mount bracket, mounted to the joists. It has the ability to swing up and lock into place so that the TV can sit parallel to the ceiling when not in use, but I never bother doing that as it's out of the way anyway. Laptop sits on my workbench next to my bike/trainer but a laptop stand/medical table would probably work a lot better.
And that fern thread is gold.
