My lifelong dream has come true [ok, im 17] but anyways:
The tech department at my company has been given there own office. We need ideas for how to make it a geekpad.
So far we have the essential poster in mind: war games.
Ideas are welcome

Physical age range? Mental age range? Counter-culture or hidden-hacker?

17 & 26 yr old males => physical age
26 & 14 yr old => mental age [respectively]
n00b hacker & veteran hacker => current status

That's quite an interesting combination you've got there.

Just make decorations out of old hardware (rip you old hard disks apart and stuff).
EDIT | If you're vain geeks, hard drive platters make brilliant mirrors too

hehe, definantly would be pretty crazy..
I would probably just get whitebackground with a "lighter" grey for the numbers.. just to keep it easy on the eyes..
In that case I think it would be a great idea.. for a `geek`.

Lots of digital boobies would probably do the trick.

How about a matrix style work area? 9 monitors on flexible support cables.
