How into the game do you get at your desk?

I'm just curious how much your computer desk or playing area reflects how into the game you get while playing.

For example, my computer is in the spare bedroom that only gets used when my youngest daughter comes home from out of state for a holiday or if my granddaughter is spending the night. So the room is my U-boats command room most of the time. If I'm playing during the day the curtains are closed so I have better night vision through my periscopes. If I'm playing at night all lights are out except one small adjustable lamp that is very dim and gives off just enough soft indirect light so that I can see just enough to write notes if needed but not enough light to interfere with my night vision. And the ceiling fan is always running because I like things cool but also because a submarine needs ventilation....right?

On my computer desk I have a clipboard with an excel spreadsheet on it that I created to record the information I need when using the attack disk to find a targets true heading. I use this when things get hot and I'm doing too many things at once and it's easy for me to forget what the data was. I have another sheet of paper just for any random notes I may need such as the time of day that I begin an intercept run and how long the time to intercept is, things like this. I have my calculator for obvious reasons. I have my headphones because I play with no external camera so they help me to hear the direction and speed of the convoy escorts when they begin depth charge runs over my head and it's also easier to hear faint faraway hydrophone contacts.

I also always have something to drink by my side because dehydration is every skippers enemy!

Tell us how you set up when you get ready to go hunting.
