Well, not to be contentious, but just to respond so I don't look like a crazy person or something... I DO put stuff on top of the Olive. That is where the current M-Audio Audiophile USB and the Musical Fidelity tube buffer sit and, presumably, where the New Box or Boxes would have to go. I lost deskspace by replacing Klipsch iFi's with the NHT M-00's that are supposed to be shipped "any day now." With monitor, laptop dock, the laptop, the keyboard, the phone, and various rechargers for iPods and cellphones, that pretty much eats up the real estate.

However, I would prefer not to have stuff on the Olive. Between the CD transport and hard drive, it has plenty of moving parts and, while there's no ventilation on top of it, I don't like to mar the finishes of the lower unit cabinets because the top ones always leave rubber-foot "marks" that I can't get out and that prevent me from claiming the unit is "mint" when I try to resell. Just a cosmetics issue but one that might ultimately have a small economic impact. But, when you gotta do it, you gotta do it.
