The labelled USB flash drives are a good idea. Easy to grab what you need.

Yes that’s a very organized USB collection, mine are strewn about my desk.

It’s hurting my eyes!. The monitor on top the book does offer some relief though!. I bet @phunguss and @BillyGoatGruff, or BGG as he has become affectionately known, have untidy desks, SHOW ME YOUR DESKS!.

I think you've got so many unfinished hacks and mods going on it's nearly impossible to keep things tidy. Some day you'll get them all completed and then have time to spruce up the desktop up a bit.

Someday they’ll all be finished, but in the meantime I’m enjoying my chaotic, disorganized mess.

I like the Russian Roulette game too, what’s on this stick I wonder!.

"also that scanner from the 1800s "
Missed that comment (very funny). It's an HP 4070 "Photosmart Scanner." Thanks to Vuescan software, it still works fine. Have never had to replace anything at all. Hey, my HP 15C calculator still works, too!

@craighazan you called it! Borderline hoarding. Sorry, my small bedroom used as a workspace has 3 desks, a file cabinet full of parts, and old dresser, and a couple of stand up shelves, and 20+ hack projects (yes, more than 20 hackintosh projects). My primary desk where I do my planning, thinking, and purchasing, currently has a 2009 iMac with a Xeon e3-1245 and 40TB of external storage, and an in-progress cube.

My secondary desk has a couple NUC's, my Mac Pro Jr., an iMac G5 project and spare parts.

The 3rd desk is like that chair in the corner of the bedroom that collects clothes, or in this case more spare parts and projects (clairol 40 whitener, iMac flat panel parts and mini-FP/NUC, etc). Beside my primary desk is a pile of projects like 2 cubes and a PC tower hack that will go into a G5 tower.

I also work on solar collectors and use my 3D printer and CNC router to build telescopes. I don't need a clean workspace to get things done.
