    Where can I find a large(giant) list of different accessories to consider with a laptop? Is there a list on here somewhere?

    All i'm looking for is a general list, so that I can go though and say "Oh, cool" or "nah, don't need that"

    Just wanna see some options, including obvious things (like mice, and headphones) to less obvious things (like anti-glare sheilds, and usb-lights)

    Edit: Feel free to start listing things that you find essential. Things you would be miserable without.
    I think I might turn this into a giant collective list

    Mouse/mousepad
    Headphones
    Power strip/surge protector
    Cat5 Patch Cable (incase of no wireless)
    anti-glare sheild/screen protector
    USB/keyboard light

    Notebook cooler
    External HD
    External Speakers/xfi express card
    external monitor/keyboard
    USB flash memory

    laptop bag
