Suggestions on decent office radio needed

Well for my gf's birthday she has mentioned she needs a decent radio for her office at work. Something space friendly as well. She was looking at some of the ones at Brookstone (they are pretty slim) but I told her to not buy so much stuff before her dang birthday because it ruins the options for me! Anway, Im looking for suggestions on a radio thats similar to the ones brookstone has (or sharper image). They need to be slim, able to play CDs, have a digital readout (no dial radio choosing like on the cheap-o radios), and have good sound.

Price range can be anywhere up to about $200

I have this one and I like it a lot, though it may be a bit small for what you're looking for.

Thats a nice one but Something that doesn't require batteries is more along the lines of what I need. This wont really be portable...just for the desk at work

Althought if it gets quite a bit of time out of the batteries then I suppose its ok. Just dont want her to hassle with replacing batteries all the time

You can't beat a Bose Wave Radio, although it might be too expensive to leave around the office.

(The Wave Radio would be sufficient, but the Acoustic Wave <bigger one> is unbelievable!)
