I have a scanner/printer/copier, microphone, external hard drive, stereo, gamepad, USB hub, and a bunch of other stuff hooked up to my computer. The most interesting thing I have attached to it is probably my guitar. I plan to hook up a VCR to it as well. What kinds of stuff do you guys have connected to your computer? Anything really unusual?

Standard perphs, including a scanner, but no fax.

My vidoe card supports two monitors and I'm considering it.

I use a lap-top, but I have a wireless mouse, USB extender, my printer is an HP 7180 all in one- scanner, copier, & printer
that is "connected" via WiFi. Sometimes I connect it to my stereo or my iPhone. Other attachments include the digital camera
or an adapter for reading and writing to flash memory cards. It has a built in port for SD cards.

Surprisingly little hooked up to this thing - keyboard, mouse, 2 monitors, speakers. I've been known to hook up other things before though - I've hooked up a printer, scanner, VCR, SNES, USB powered Christmas tree...

to add, I have a USB mini vac plugged into my server, because I don't need the USB ports on there, but the power is handy
