Output and input devices for me.  I have a pair of wacoms that are
great.  I'd love, absolutely love, a phantom desktop unit.  I want to
make a DIY pen plotter someday (perhaps by taking an existing large
format one and modifying it) that could handle real paint brushes and
paint.  I don't actually have any cool output devices :(.

And lets not for get SDI video IO, and SDI monitors (again toys I
don't have).
