    For Headphones checkout Sennheiser HD555...great soundstage, stereo imaging.

    for keyboard ..Saitek Eclipse II is out..its much better priced and better designed than Razer's overpriced keyboards.


    What else?

    for Mouse.. Deathadder is a good choice..but u can also checkout MX518 if u want something cheaper.

    Dr. Dre is nice but very expensive and their SQ is not the best money can buy at that price. although they do sound much better than Bose which offers anything but good Sound quality

    Logitech G9 is one of the mainstream choices. Personally I use a Cyber Snipa Stinger. Best if you go into a store and try out a few mice for yourself. Which "feels" the best.

    my price range for headphones max $50
    and the deathadder is on discount for $40 now. should i get it over the mx518?
    and also a review for the saitek eclipse says that the backlight for blue is not that bright. is that true? my roommate has a tarantula and i wouldnt even consider that to have any backlight(too dim)

    I have a Saitek Eclipse and it is pretty comfortable. The Saitek Eclipse II looks better though.
