My desk is covered in stuff from my card reader to my USB hub to the external hard drive holding my data backup. It would be great to get all this gear in one enclosure and the guys over at ThinkGeek have done just that. You buy this enclosure sans optical drive and HDD and put your own stuff into it. The drive then connects to your PC via USB and even has an extra USB port up front for your flash drives. The card reader works with CF I/II, MD, SD, MMC, and MS/MS PRO. An aluminum heatsink and a fan cool the enclosure and surge protection is built in as well. The Media Tank works with both PC and Mac.
