You’re kidding! I have a 24" stuffed Gene Simmons doll (not an action figure) sitting on top of my tower as we speak! I love him. I want to collect Ace, Peter and Paul too, but there won’t be room for them on my desk.

I also have a phone on my desk, my school books and a lamp sans lampshade. Oh and my digital cam sits on top of one of my speakers.

There is also a bottle of moisturizing lotion, but I didn’t put it there, and I’m going to pretend my son wasn’t the last person at this desk, too. :eek:

Am I the only one sitting at one of those space saver desks? Its literally got the monitor, mouse and mousepad on the first shelf.

Second shelf has the scanner.

Third Shelf has the tower and the printer.
There are a few little things beside the monitor tho, my cell phone, a hair tie, a pen, a ring (I just read Jjimms ring post), a receipt from a registered letter I sent to some Ebay guy and a copy of Arwens Evenstar chain from the Lord of the Rings.

I too have a space saver desk and you would still be surprised what I can pile on it, around the computer. I have notebooks, papers, bills, disks, camera, roll of tape, and oh yes, my sleep mask.

Top shelf: speakers, CD rack with about 100 CDs on it

Monitor shelf: 15" monitor, stack of note cards, small desk lamp
To the right of monitor: Scanner, three remote controls, bag of Doritos, bad CD-R that is used as a coaster for my drinks, cup full of Coke and ice on said coaster

On file cabinet to my left: computer tower, four CDs stacked on top of it, router.

On table to my right: HP LaserJet 6L printer, HP DeskJet 940, telephone base, answering machine, more CDs, digital camera, video camera, several odds and ends.

A hard-side CD case that holds 10
Box of Earl Grey tea and a box of Plantion Mint tea - neither of which I drink. I really ought to put them in the break room for others to enjoy.

About 15 backup cartridges from servers that no longer exist.
25 still shrinkwrapped CDR blanks

Small sewing kit
Bowl of dead batteries that need to go to the recycle bin
