Most, if not all, IT workers are hard-core geeks at heart. And like most geeks, they experience full-on techno lust for cool and unusual gadgets.

Of course, IT geeks appreciate many of the same gadgets that appeal to general consumers. But for this list, rather than include the usual suspects such as iPads, iPhones and Kindles, we’ve decided to focus on gadgets that have a very special geek angle, which goes a long way toward making them the perfect gifts for the fellow IT geeks on your list.
