The computer, easily.

Though I also have in front of me, in real paper form:
Duistermaat's "Fourier Integral Operators"
Friedlander and Joshi's "Intro to Distributions"
Stolk's "On the modeling and inversion of seismic data"

and about five or six papers on some sort of tomography.

Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia, Fifth Edition

I wish I could find a picture of it, but the thing is giant - 3 inches thick, 15 lbs, and 2370 pages.

From the spine:
"Earth and Space Sciences
Energy Technology
Life Sciences
Materials Sciences
Mathematics
Information Sciences
Physics and Chemistry"

This one was published in 1976, but the newest edition runs about $600.

Where should I start :D

A ton of lab glassware, eg burettes, erlenmeyer flasks, separatory funnels, soxhlet extractors, and a large number of exotic things I haven't identified yet.

Winner is probably this analytical balance. The object inside it is a moth in a DVD holder, I was testing the physics thought experiment of whether creatures in flight inside a container still affect the weight. They do.

Why a moth? Because one flew into my room and started nutting the lampshade, which gave me the idea. Hence the torch and paper, you can roughly control the moth by application of light to the paper, or lack thereof. :)
