What are some of the nerdy/techy stuff you have on your desk? 

 

For me I have an EVGA 660 on my desk for decoration.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

...which thermal throttles your 4000$ into the dust. I don't consider that very nerdy, especially since it's not DIY by any stretch of the imagination. @Pearsonia btw the quote function is broken atm, please mention people if you wish to reply for the time being.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I just cleaned my desk, so now everything sits behind me in a shelf...

-snip-

I have all of my boxes from 3 builds just thrown in a pile in my closet. And I have 2 stuffed motherboard boxes sitting on another unfinished build in the corner of my room. I really need a pc junk shelf. :P

Nothing nerdy in particular: just a DSLR (Canon 1000D) with a kit lens, plus the glorious nifty-fifty right next to it, an SD card reader, 2 USB drives, chopsticks, some pencils and a drinking glass, all pretty much permanently on my desk.

 

So anything nerdy? Unless photography is considered 'nerdy', then yes. Otherwise, nope.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

Not quite all on my desk but I'm working with limited space. A lot of this is on side desks or in drawers on my desk.
