Chump change. I once interviewed the owner of a window-dressing shop who said he's sold more than a few customers more than $250,000 worth of BLINDS!
Pimp my Windows indeed...

Considering how fast systems become obsolete in the realm of computers (CPUs, memory, motherboards, and monitors), and that items like mice need replacing relatively quickly from use, this does not seem a likely item for the less than top of the financial food chain member, whose respect for a buck is a touch to low for most of us who work for wages.  Time to go to work.  Make mine oak, please.  To match my office furniture.

You better go with black walnut.  If you get oak, you won't be able to see it sitting on your desk.

and people buy this??  
 
They bought Pet Rocks didn't they ?
 
There's a guy in the neighborhood who has a small pond on his lot that he's stocked with those large foo foo Japanese goldfish (can't remember name of em).
He's told anyone who'll listen how it's cost him thousands of dollars because the birds and other wildlife like to snack on them. Thus proving that money and intelligence do not go hand in hand.    
One of my cats has even brought one home for me.

Nigel,  is that a  Remco tank??

[poor_nigel]

Hey Bob - If you get oak, you won't be able to see it sitting on your desk.  Wouldn't that be great!  The less like 'work' it looks, the better, IMO.
 
Kenn - Yep, that is a Remco Bulldog tank, and a Remco Fighting Lady battleship to the right of it.  During off season, I have been known to shoot passers by with them.  They were the coolest toys on the market back in my stone-age youth.  Your kinda showing your age, just by recognizing the tank . . .  
 
I like my toys.  I walk into my office in the morning and feel very comfortable and ready for work.  I actually need almost no space to work in, so this works well for me.

Nigel, I tend to show my age with the gray hair, however, it is a full head of hair, so no complaints here. I have a great one for you though, I have a Remco Johnny Reb Cannon,in the box. When I give that a test fire the family scatters. They don't make them like these anymore.

If I can't have a Chinese Dragon inlaid somewhere on one of the pieces, I'm shopping elsewhere too...!!

[flaxattack]

dont forgedt leds roger

[bsee]

The dragon inlay would loop around the border of the monitor.  You'd also have to have the labels inlaid in assorted flavors of abalone, MOP, precious metals, and contrasting woods as appropriate.  Of course, you'd have to have LEDs on the home keys and the num pad 5 to guide you when not quite touch-typing in a dark office.  This is starting to shape up.
