Well mine isn't as bad as some but I took this the other day:

The two screens are hooked up to two separate windows machines (shared via synergy2) and then there's the old sharp zaurus, eeepc and the macbook pro.

Of course I could take a picture of the corner of my loungeroom where the servers are... but It's still not as crazy as some of the above.

I have a crystal skull(that I bought long before the latest Indian Jones movie), my high school diploma, a globe(it's shiny), my printer, and a tiny metal Christmas tree.

Well, lets see...not too much to be honest. I have (besides the obvious stuff like speakers) some Mario baddy miniatures (bullet bill, winged goomba, bom-omb). I have this japanese-ish 5-headed dragon statue thing (too lazy to get a picture). It's also littered with my many drawings of game characters I thought up. Yeah...that's about it.

EDIT: Oh, and a big stack of gaming magazines.

I have my ipod, cell phone, controllers, lots of a cables, xbox 360, ps2, psp, cards, a vcr, dvd player, bunch of games on my to play list, seasons of nip/tuck, and a few books i like to read when im bored.

Edit: and also a giant pikachu that i got when i was 8.

A few anime DVD's, a bunch of papers and random trash like pens/pencils/sharpeners and a few unfinished short story drafts... a lot of dried up orange peels and a good number of semi-broken gadgets like mic's, headphones and such.

While my desk isn't as messy as those of some people here, I will state that in my immediate proximity are four computers, two keyboards, several mice, enough game systems to make a supercomputer, a monitor and a television, a stack of PC games which won't fit into my games cupboard, stacks of Magic: The Gathering cards, one National Geographic magazine from September 2008, two phones, one a Nokia E71, one a Nokia 1600, and a large amount of other random detritus. This is just the stuff that's loose, and to catalogue it all would take hours.

I will attempt to have the prize for most random items, though, as only inches from my left hand is a box of Disprin, a tube of Bonjela, a box of Panadol Cold & Flu and a box of Elastoplast plasters. At the same time, in a cupboard a few feet away from my right hand are three packets of baking soda.

Hmmmm, grimlok, optimus prime, a bunch of warhammer chaos warrior minis, my necromunda gangs, my ciggies + lighter, fallout 3 pipboy bobblehead, assorted dvds and cds labelled helpful things like "stuff, stuff 2, things" etc, my lovecraft collected works, a couple of cat toys and some catnip (ya never know when you're going to have to distract your cat), some rspca pamphlets and a couple of textbooks. Damn, I should really clean up a bit.

Game cases, DVD cases, gameboy, psp, cabinet with books and movies, controllers and sometimes food.

I have, as of the time of posting, the following on my desk:

I'd say that I'm messier than most of the others here.

I'd put up a picture, but I aint got a scooby doo as to how I go about it...

On top, L-R. iMac + keyboard & mouse, my coffe mug (essential!), ash tray, the house phone, pc monitor & speakers + keyboard & mouse and finally baccy, filters, lighter & skins.

Under the desk, L-R. Printer (on top of a shitload of paper), modem & router, several dvds, subwoofer, some of my pc games and last but not leats, my pc tower.

It's only this tidy cos I recently got a big desk to put it all on. I'm sure my girlfriend will make a mess of it soon enough, she has a lovely habit of leaving her crap everywhere...

Torch, stack of CD's, Mp3 player, metronome, C++ for dummies guide, 5 novels from various authors, a stack of text books from chemistry, mathematics and physics which I rest my monitor on, A pencil case full of useful things, a yoyo, a wallet, 5 guitar tab books, lots of DvD's, a capo, a chromatic tuner, 4 guitar picks, a LAN cable, Headphones, mp3 player charge, laser light, mobile phone (it's been out of batteries for about 5 months), Paint brush, scissors, calculator, pack of screwdrivers, painkillers, P plates, Pedometer, box of screws, Electric Guitar lead, Mini Kaoss Pad, 1 pack of both electric and steel acoustic guitar strings, and a fluffy toy dog. That about sums it up.

I have a word for this: "permacrud." It's like a perpetual layer of crap that occasionally melts away but always returns in the winter.

At one point, I had enough spare papers on my desk to use the surface as a Exacto-cutting board without worrying about harming the desk.
