Ex-Water clan (has the water clan symbol with slash through it) Naruto Headband... I bought it when I was 13.
I AM COMPLETELY ASHAMED TO STILL OWN IT. I am putting it on Trade-me (new zealand's own shameless ripoff of ebay) RIGHT NOW!

Hum. Probably ... well, I think having a $600 26" widescreen LCD monitor with a H-IPS panel counts, doesn't it? How about also having an also-very-expensive 24" widescreen CRT monitor with a trinitron tube (and using them in a dual setup)? How about my $300 audio system? My $130 Razer Mamba mouse? My all-aluminum keyboard? Uhm ... linux LiveCDs are so very common in my place that I should probably start using them as coasters...
Sadly, I can't think of any non-functional nerd item that I have. Well, other than my viking drinking horn and my "Surfed Too Long" skeleton-laying-dead-on-computer-desk sculpture thing. I suppose, the viking drinking horn counts, right? It's a real animal (bull?) horn, and both ends are tipped with brass.

The first thing that came to mind was my hand.
That I can count binary on. (Count binarily?)
I also have a small case FILLED with Pokemon cards, so that's worth... something.
In more recent news, I have a GH2 guitar. A remnant of days gone by, made ancient by the ever-increasing perception of time's eternal flow. Days growing shorter, months becoming years becoming eons... where does it go? Are we destined for a future where leaps are made in weeks that previously took decades? And where will it, if it is even possible for it to, end? The mind sear- whoa. Sorry. Got existential. 1AM does that to me.
Uh... that's about it for nedry items... WoW calendar? Copies of Warcraft 1+2? My dad has a TON of old Star Trek and X-men cards and comics; I nominate him.
EDIT: And it's renaissance. Googled, my first try was renessaince. [/spellingnazi]
Oh, that's another. I know a bit of code. , . //that's about it. I learned for-if loops (probably not the right name), tables, and how to make those little 'chat invitations' that... certain... sites send to you that bounce around the bottom of your screen.

A broken Guitar Hero III controller due to the fact I tried to pull a Townshend
Edit: Strike that. I also have a small Sephiroth figurine, pose and all.

God, where do I start:
Comic books - I have 4 of those standard-sized boxes full of them, and a 5th thats halfway filled
Records - stuff I inherited from my dad: Beatles, Van Halen, Electric Light Orchestra, etc.
DVDs - I like movies. I've got a fair collection (mix of classic/modern movies, some cartoons and a few TV shows)
Tabletop RPG Manuals - An entire bookshelf, complete with paraphernalia
Action figures - After mum went and threw out all my old ones, I went on an obsessive 4-year quest to rebuild my collections. While my rarer ones (G.I. Joe vehicles and playsets, etc.) are probably lost forever, I can say I've built a respectable collection
