my shack is pretty spartan as well.  It's located in  a 12 by 10 foot room 
with heat and facilities to fit a small window shaker.  As you come in the 
door, there's an l-shaped desk on the right.  further to the right is a work 
bench which contains a 5-position coax switch, the ts850 and an ic2800 for 
2-meters.  The phone patch is also there along with a telephone and talking 
caller id.  To the right of this l-shaped desk is a smaller desk containing 
a Pro2018 scanner and a microwave.  I also have an old hp5200 cxi scanner 
hooked to an xp machine.  As you can imagine, my shack is pretty spartan.
