Need help: Mouse, case, and headphones!

Hey everyone,

Got my laptop a week ago(inspiron 1520), so far so good, knock -knock- knock. I have a 100 dollars to spend on these three components. They don't have to be top of the line, even tho i doubt they could for that money. All i care for is reliability and quality. Would you please suggest what brand and web site i could get them from?

Thank you,

BiG_V

 

im not so sure of pricing but logitech is doing great nowadays
why not look at newegg.com they have quite a few good deals
sorry couldnt be of much help
cheers
all the best

 

For the mouse, you can get the logitech mx518. You can find it for about $40.

 

I recall that Targus or Kensington used to sell a backpack with mouse and usb port hub as a combo. I cant seem to find it but that could be a useful approach.

 

the mouse in my sig is good not fancy but good

 

thanx guys, so far i have this:

case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834990016

headphones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826159225
or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106333

and mouse, i'm thinking logitech mx series, but those are kind of expensive. thomash, thanx for suggestion, i'll look into it! is it small by the way? cause i have a pretty small mouse right now and my wrist hurts when i use it for a long time...

 

small enough to be portable(fits in your pocket) but comfortable also(i game with it)

 

For headphones, look no further than the Koss KSC75. You will not find a better-sounding pair of headphones for less than $50. I picked up my pair on Amazon for $17.
No one knows why they are so inexpensive yet deliver such awesome sound.

 

are they pretty bassy? how is the overall comfort, etc? i just need good headphones, so i can listen to music and play games.

 

read some reviews, sounds like they are the steal! what bout the mouse now, Thomash had a suggestion about Microsoft 3000, i just need a comfy mouse, doesn't need to be wireless, just comfortable in hand and games...

 

i have a never used , microsoft basic optical mouse. its black, and its not wireless, but i'll sell it to you for $12 shipped. PM me if you're interested.

 

no thank u, i can buy a new one from new egg for 12

 

still can't seem to decide on the headphones.... i like to listen to all kinds of music, more to hip-hop/rnb and techno/drum/club,etc though. I really want realiable over-the-head phones. max price around $40. thanx for everybody trying to help me.

 

Yes, they have very good bass. You can make those cheap headphones sound even better - check out the mods some people do at www.head-fi.org. I personally have not modded mine.

 

can't really do that, don't have a drill and don't have the skill!haha that rhymed

i really want the over-the-head phones, but if u say that these are good, i might as well give em a shot. are they comfy if u wear them for a long time?

 

man, c'mon, don't u guys care for sound, mice, and cases for ur laptops? i know there are some of u out there who have some headphones, just say something! haha

p.s. already decided on the mouse and case, but not the headphones!

 

I was kinda in the same situation you are in, except not all in the same order, and I was looking for more of a backpack than a case. I gave myself a little over $100 (about $110 at most) limit of finding a mouse, headphones, and backpack.

The backpack came first, Dakine Campus for $39.99, back in August. Then I took my precious time in finding a wireless mouse and decent headphones. and just yesterday, I bought the last two. I bought the Swissgear by Wenger Spyder Wireless Laser Mouse for $39.99 and JVC Marshmallow headphones (earphones, really) for $19.99. All coming to a total of about $107-$108. I pretty happy with the purchases, given my limited budget.

Although I was this close |-| to getting the VX Nano. Fell in love with how it felt and the small USB, but it was a bit too $$$ for me.

 

Actually I was at Circuit City today and I saw that combo, it's from Targus, and it was something like $70...I'm sure you can find it a little cheaper online

 

My favorite laptop bag of all time (I've owned like five) is the Wenger Maxxum, made by the people who made the Swiss army knives. Here's a link http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/pf/0708/gallery.back_to_school_electronics/2.html. I bought mine off of ebags for like $40, but i don't know if they still carry it. I can fit my 15" laptop into it along with two full sized textbooks, two 1-inch binders, and a 5-subject notebook. It has a LOT of pockets, but it doesn't have any pen holders and no detachable cell phone holder. As for the material, I feel 100% confident that my laptop wouldn't get damaged in this bag!

For the mouse, I just got a new Logitech VX Revolution from Circuit City today for less than $40. They're sellin the mouse for $64.99 on their website, and it has a $20 mail-in rebate, plus I had a 20% off coupon. In their actual store, it sells for $79.99, but all you have to do is show them the price on the website, and they will honor the $64.99 price. So far, I love this mouse!

As for headphones, I don't wear over-the-head type headphones much. I wear mostly in-ear types. Only time I wear over-the-head type is when I'm running on the treadmill. I'd recommend Senheiser or Bose or any of those, but I think those are too expensive for your budget. I don't know of any others that would have good bass, sorry.
