If you had $200 to spend on a tech gadget(s). What would you buy?


I was thinking about a DS lite, couple PC games, or the most badass keyboard/mouse combo I can find.


Any suggestions?

I didn't even know you came in this section, frosh.



Lets keep that in the lounge though.

I permeate the very aether of the Wolf Web. But look, man, seriously...don't go compartmentalizing.

g15 keyboard and a gx500 mouse for the keyboard and mouse combo

I just bought a slingbox, thats pretty neat
hard drives are always good
a smart phone could be good too

6/19/2006 4:37:47 PM

^don't know what mouse that is (mx500?) but there's also the G7... i've been tempted to go for that with the G15 but my current stuff is still working.

6/19/2006 5:09:29 PM

yeah, I meant mx500. I prefer wired mice

laser pointer pen

g5 mouse and g15 keyboard are always a good combo. Maybe some 2.1 thx rated speakers or something instead (like the logitech z-2300).

you'll not repent it. I used it for a while, and it changed the way I managed information.

-DVD Burner
-External USB 2.0 Enclosure
-4-Port KVM
-6ft. USB Extension Cables
-Logitech RF Keyboard/Mouse

That's was a $200 Jan. purchase for myself. I use each of them every day it seems like.

Assuming he's got another computer to use that KVM with

Hmmm....


I thought about a KVM switch. I have two machines at the house I'm using on seperate monitors atm.


I was thinking about a DVI cable for my LCD too.

Ok I have $25 in gift rewards best buy.
What should i get? Will they take that to pre-order NCAA 2007?

Get an xbox accessory

6/20/2006 2:51:48 PM

go for the DS Lite + an M3 card.

Ds + every game ever put out for it will take up a lottt of your time.

6/21/2006 9:11:45 AM

damn gargs, you spent 200 on that pen?

I dont see how it could be worth it

6/21/2006 1:51:44 PM

what's even worse is that it only works with their special paper, which happens to cost arm + leg

Oh trust me...it is worth it. I have a calendar that works with this pen. You write down your memos and todos and then when you sync the pen with your computer, it automatically transfers everything and even does handwriting recognition. wanna send an email? Just write it down and put a check mark on the box and when you sync your pen, the email is automatically sent. You have a paper as well as electronic copy of everything you write.

Not really...a regular notes/todo/phone numbers pad is like $9.99. Leapfrog just came out with a pen that uses the same technology but has awesome software on it...like language translation, music players, and math.

Matrix Orbital MX610

with temp probes and internal USB.

assuming i could needlessly waste it on something cool. KVM switches can be had for cheap anyway, although I have one and it's quite handy.

6/21/2006 3:55:43 PM

the only thing wrong about that Matrix display is that it doesn't work with nice looking cases.

6/21/2006 3:57:23 PM

^how so? Do you mean the buttons? If so there's always the MX620 & MX630.

6/21/2006 4:05:20 PM

:drool:

6/21/2006 4:07:17 PM

do they make kvm switches for dual monitor setups?
