Yeah, by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #1 Wed May 09, 2012 at 02:32:50 PM EST
computer, monitor, mobile and radiator (because there's not enough control over the heating and no, I've no idea how we got away with it. I don't use it anyway, a previous occupant of my desk did. If I were to go for my assigned desk, that would have a printer at it instead of the radiator.)



Errr... by Vulch (2.00 / 0) #2 Wed May 09, 2012 at 03:41:18 PM EST
The work desk: IR transmitter for headphones, laptop dock, desklamp, radio, monitor, server under the desk. Hmmm, that's unusually frugal for me...

At home the downstairs desk has 10 and upstairs around 16.

I think I voted 6 by ana (2.00 / 0) #7 Thu May 10, 2012 at 09:23:07 AM EST
but counting this morning, I see 5: computer, monitor, laptop charger, phone, and a lamp I don't use. Other occasionals: a coffee grinder and a blood pressure monitor. There's a gap in the books on the shelf at chair level on the wall opposite my desk to provide access to the outlet.

Hmmm by Gedvondur (2.00 / 0) #8 Thu May 10, 2012 at 09:45:22 AM EST
Lets see..

Three monitors, 22", 24", 22"
Macbook pro
Toshiba laptop
Gaming mid-tower
Powered USB Hub
Powered KVM
Powered Speakers
500gb desktop USB drive
1tb desktop Firewire 800 drive
Multifunction Laser Printer (Fax/Copy/Print)
DECT 6 Phone base and two separate charging stations
IP Phone (Power over Ethernet, but I think it still counts)

All of that doesn't count the networking equipment which is in the same room.

Work router/wireless (CVO)
Home/Office router/wireless
5-port 1Gbps switch
Cable Modem


So ya.  Lots.  That was kind of depressing.

This poll was inspired my running out of slots in my second power strip, which led to me counting 17 different plugs being used.
