The airconditioner is an absolute must, or a nice big fan in the worst case scenario. Being comfortable does so much for productivity that it is an absolute no-brainer. A decent chair is also important if you’re spending long hours in front of the computer.
I also find it helpful to be next to a window – it provides natural light, and reminds you that you are no longer cooped up in a cubicle.
