Early this summer, a bunch of friends and i had a little conversation on AOL instant messenger to see what kind of things people had on their desks. It was rather amusing, so I'm going to start it again... but on my website this time.
If you read this article, list the things that you have on your desk right now. (sometimes this gets kinda funny)
comments
3 monitors
3 mice
2 keyboards
a sony clie and cradle
stereo remote
listerine cool mint strips
a recording microphone
the riddlebox cd
2 movie stubs (jackass and die another day)
digital camera
a hub
2 soap duckies
1 soap ducky head
... that's about it, mine's not that funny. but then again, i don't have much room for stuff with 3 monitors sitting here.

Get a switchbox and use only one monitor. I love mine.

Well, I actually like the 3 monitors... It was a little hard to get used to at first, but in the long run, it is nice. I can operate and "monitor" all 3 pretty quickly without having to switch between them. It's especially handy for typing documents... I could have a reference doc on one monitor and do my work on the other. (the 3rd computer is strictly for mp3s and videos, which are played through my entertainment center)
