Why don't you just buy a scanner capable of scanning a stack of paper? Or find a kinko's or photocopy center that will let you use one. The one at my work can scan 50 pages in about a minute, and saves the files in pdf format. Take out all the staples from all your magazines, spend a few hours in kinko's, and you're done.

Nothing nice............ I actually don't have any set up for the last 3 years because I travel a lot when I am not working at home. I used to have over 100 tanks set up (from 5 gallons to 200 gallons) but that was when I was in school still. I am planing a 2 huge tanks (1000 gallons each, one salt water and one freshwater). but that will be well into the future when I get a bigger house.

Cheers,
