Meh, too much audio gears for one desk. I don't think I can fit anything more except maybe one more banana hanger and one more pair of phones. 

 
When you can't fit anymore on your desk than you know you have the right amount of gear for your desk

If you do decide to get a bigger desk, check out the Ikea Galant series. Lot's of different sizes and shapes to choose from.
 
I just got one recently and am loving it.

Amp. Denon PMA-1500AE, player H.K. HD970, Rockna RD-2 (DAC), speakers: Cabasse MT3 Jersey;

..it's my second dynamic headphone rig, with Lavry DA10, Meier Audio PREHEAD-I, Sennheiser HD650 (with Cardas);
 

 
... the battle: Stax SR-404 (Signature: SRS 4040-II) versus SR-404LE (with eXStatA)

This is a headphone-rig that caused me a lot of emotion over time:
Source: Apple iMac Transport: AR-T Legato I (Analog Research-Technology) with Audioquest Coffee (usb);
Digital-to-analog converter: Mhdt Havana*;
Amp: eXStatA (solid state version), by Alex Cavalli,
Electrostatic-headphone: STAX SR-404LE (Limited Ed.);
Cables: Power - Audioquest NRG-5, Interconect: Audioquest Colorado, Audioquest Coffee, Filter: Isotek Orion;
*Inside Havana I installed high quality components like V-Cap CuTF (Copper Foil and teflon film capacitors), Black Gate caps, Auricap, Shinkoh Tantalum resistors, WBT conectors, K-grade B.B.PCM56P chips, etc.
 
Thank you,

Here's a shot of my rig at work. I had to replace my Raspberry Pi because for some reason where I work they shut the network down every night briefly and everyday it was too hard to re-obtain the address or mostly had to hard reboot which caused file corruption issues sometimes. 
 
Anyway I replaced it with a Nexus 7 (grouper) with CyanogenMod 10.1 USB ROM with Timur Kernel.  In the photo is a HiFiMeDIY Sabre USB DAC, however that has since been changed to a Nuforce UDAC2.  The rig feeds my Bottlehead SEX Amp with is hooked to Infinity Speakers (that were all the rage some years ago).  Cheap speakers that had a good write up somewhere.
 
Generally control the rig via Logitech Media Server via computer or smart phone. 
 
Fantastic little rig.
 
I also have 3 Raspberry Pi computers hooked to various systems and DAC's at home.
 
Big computer audio fan.

  I had a similar rig with my Nexus 7 feeding a uDAC. How was your battery life on your N7?

 
I use an OTG Y cable on my Nexus 7 and it charges while using the USB.  You can just barely see the cable connection in my photo in front of the DAC.
 
I also have a new 2013 Nexus 7 (flo) and it supports USB DAC on CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly builds however the charging doesn't work.  I have opted to use the Qi wireless charging system on it while plugged into a USB DAC until somebody builds that support into the kernel.
