What Accessories Do You Use?

As the title says, this thread is for listing the accessories you use and love. Feel free to give a little mini review of the products you list as well. List the laptop you use as well, for reference purposes.

ASUS UL80VT

• Timbuk2 Commute 2.0 Messenger bag - I love this bag. It's large enough for quite a bit of stuff, and built incredibly solid. The only thing I don't like is the strap. there isn't any padding on it, and when the bag is loading down a lot it can get pretty uncomfortable.
  
• Koss PortaPro headphones - really, really good. Koss designed and started selling these these things in 1984, and they haven't changed the design since. that should tell you something. they look pretty retro, though. oh, and they have a lifetime replacement guarantee. break 'em, and they will replace em, no matter what. only bad part is there is quite a bit of sound bleed. don't try to listen to these in a quiet place or you will get a lot of stares...
  
• Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX - the perfect little travel mouse. comfortable, accurate, i can use it on practically anything (i haven't found a single surface that it wont work on).
  
• Belkin Mini surge Protector - so, so awesome. three outlets and two USB charging sockets is more than you will probably ever need on your own, but when you need it, it is the best 15 bucks you will ever spend.
  
• tons of cables from Monoprice - cheap and decent quality. and cheap.

 

Just my Z-2300's and my MX Revolution. The Z-2300's are pretty good for the price, but could be better. I'm sure everyone who owns them knows what I am talking about here.

And my MX Revolution is fairly nice. Had no problems with it so far, and I use it fairly often for gaming (not that I get much time anymore). Well, I did anyway.

 

Sager 8690:
-Timbuk2 race stripe messenger large - ordered but not yet arrived, might be a bit too big IMO, should've ordered the medium one maybe.
-Steelseries Sibera headset - For home use, the ear muff is comfortable though gets a bit hot sometimes.
-Westone UM2 IEM - for outdoor use.
-Logitech MX 950 - the only large size wireless mice with micro dongle I could find (No more razer stuff for me).

 

Logitech G9x + Steelseries Qck small , perfect match for hours of gaming. The mouse is fully customisable and has a DPI of 5700 as well as Polling rate of 125 to 1000.

Logitech G13 - Needs some getting use to but simply awesome once you get the grip

 

Patagonia Critical Mass Bag

Razer Death Adder, Logitech G5, Microsoft something mouse and another logitech

Zalman NC2000, CM X2... the list of coolers goes on for pages

Shure e3c IEMs as well as a pair Audio Technica headphones

ZOWIE GEAR HAMMER Headset

Razer Goliathus, Steel Series (cloth) and a Zowie gear mouse pad

5$ generic keyboard

Mitsubishi Diamondcrysta RDT22WM-S Monitor

xbox 360 pc controller

I have a ton more but just too much to write

 

Thinkpad W500 / added with Dell U2311 Moniter for home.

Razor Orochi - Good comfort, good battery life and portable enough.
CM Storm Sentinel - Excellent comfort and performance with a even better price.
Razor Deathadder - legendary but not as good as the cm storm IMHO.
Razor Boomslang CE - Bought for it due to being offered a good price for it.

Razor Exactmat - Love the mat, hate the wrist gel thing.
Razor Goliathus - Excellent cloth surface, tracks very nicely.

Apple Keyboard - Surprisingly good and comfy and saves space on the table.
MS Sidewinder X6 - Good keyboard for gaming with a nice darth vader-ish lights!

ATH ES7 recabled with ALO SXC cables and driver mod - after all the mods its turned out to be a excellent headphone to me personally. Been having it for 3 years. Time to retire this soldier and upgrade to the hd800!

Future Sonics Atrios - Love the sound signature of these earphones. Personally better than the Senn IE8 which is 2x its price!

 

Asus N61JQ

Accessories:
- Logitech Anywhere MX mouse: as said above, it's a great mobile mouse. small, responsive, pretty durable so far (don't ask )
- Tucano Nine-dot laptop sleeve: fits my 16" laptop perfectly. Nice and snug with barely any slack. And the internal flap keeps the laptop from shifting around and from getting scratched by the zipper
- The North Face Big Shot backpack: had this backpack before I got my laptop. Comfortable with the laptop in it. Has an internal laptop compartment that fits my sleeved laptop and plenty of pockets to hold accessories.

 

Asus G51VX-RX05

Kensington 62348 Contour Roller Carrying Case - My favorite way to carry my laptop, find it good enough for the price. Probably there are better but not willing to higher than $100.

Targus TXL617 Backpack - Origanally to carry the laptop, but like more the roller, so it became the gaming back pack, its huge and fit all the item below, all of them go with me on weekly basis as i travel outside of town, most of the time stays on the car and hotels, dont take them when i fly or have to walk to much.

Razer Deathadder / Logitech MX518 - Still deciding between the two. Both great mice for the money and really comfortable.
Belkin Gel Wrist Pad - comfortable for long gaming sessions.

Steelseries Qck mini - Good and cheap cloth mouse pad
Razer Destructor - Mostly cause it comes with a case and the Qck also travel in. Goes in the Laptop strap, kinda like 14'' hard case.

NXZT LX Cryo - Good cooler, big but folds to be enough for me to carry it with the gaming backpack.

Logitech G13 - Gaming pad, pretty good, i dislike playing on keyboards, specially laptop keyboards, its also big but fits my gaming backpack. Specially good to monitor vent, cpu and gpu with the extra lcd.

Sennheiser HD-280 - Great heaphones, love the isolation when i travel, i almost cant hear anything aside from the games / movies / music that im liseting.

Samson Go Mic Compact USB Microphone - Great mic for laptop, incredible quality, great for podcasting, ventrillo, skype, etc.

CyberPower Surge Suppressor - Kinda big, i used to carry a smaller laptop size, but over time i found my self for searching for more outlets on hotels for charing cel, razer, etc. So this plays better even if its bigger, still fits the backpack fine.

 

Sager NP8690 / Clevo W860CU
The bag it came with - I'm a cheap . I'm fairly fashionable, but bags just don't interest me. I do have a nice North Face backpacker, but this probably won't fit there well.

Steel Series Qck - Nice mousepad. Big enough that I never run out of real estate. I have a fairly large desk though. Soft, nice glide, but not slippery.

Razer DeathAdder - I have tiny girl hands, so it's a little big for me, but it's still comfy and I love the rubbery finish. Great mouse.

Bose 2.1, forgot the name - Loud enough, clear enough, easy to use. I don't like that it plugs into the 35mm jack though, because it gets in the way. Not audiophile quality for sure, but I don't need that for games.

Grado SR80 - Best headphones I've had (though I have only had Senns and Bose before this) by far. I listen to a lot of instrumental music (post-rock, classical, film scores, etc) and this does well. Bass lacks punch though.

Advanced Mathematics book - It's wide enough to be stable, but narrow enough that all vents are clear. The other dimension is almost exactly the same as the laptop. Cheap solution, but it works.

Crappy office chair - Got it for free. My posture is terrible, but I'm not complaining.

 

For my laptop? I have a pair of Creative EP-630 earbuds, and thats it. Who needs accessories?

 

Superdry Haversack bag

Bose Companion 3 series II

Sennheiser CX550 style II

Xbox 360 PC Controller

3 external hard drives: 1tb Seagate Expansion, 500gb Seagate Expansion, 1tb BlackArmor WS 110.

 

Timbuk2 Commute 2.0 (Large)

Logitech VX Nano - great mouse overall, but it's just not meant for gaming. I got it because of its small form factor and sleek looks, but I might have to buy another mouse just for gaming.

Sennheiser HD-280 Pro headphones.

Belkin mini-surge protector - for when I'm at coffeeshops or bookstores.

Getting a 2TB external HDD soon, although this will be for backing up stuff with my desktop as well. Not an accessory exclusively for my laptop.

 

Wow this will be a little list but here goes

-17" Notebook Sleeve
-17" Microfiber Notebook Screen Protector (i put in on the keyboard to prevent dust and keep the keys from scratching the screen)
-Logitech G35 7.1 headset
-Razer Mamba
-Sound Blaster Xfi 5.1 surround External audio card (optical toslink for home theater system)
-Sound Blaster Xfi notebook (was gonna go for the wireless audio but didnt like how the card stuck out like 4" from the express port)
-Targus 180w Psu
-Audio system Ground loop Isolator(for when i connect to external audio system using an analog connection)
-Hdmi to Dvi Adapter as well as Several Other Video/Audio Gender Changers
-Wireless xbox 360 adapter and Red Wireless 360 Controller with play and charge kit
-Bluetooth Motorola headset (for Chatting)
-Optoma PK-301 Pico Projector
-Targus Tripod For projector
-Cheapo 2 Speaker system for projector (still looking for a good portable speaker set)
-Targus Citygear 17" notebook backpack
-Foldaway Notebook Desk Thingy
-External Hdds
1Tb Esata/Usb 2.0 Antec external case W/ Western digital black inside
1.5 Tb Esata/Usb 2.0/Firewire Western Digital My Book
640 Gb Usb 2.0 Western Digital My Book

I think thats everything i use. there are a few things i still need to get though. hopefully you get something outta this list

 

Logitech keyboard and Performance MX mouse. Laptop keyboards are just not long term typing friendly.

 

Thinkpad T410

Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger Bag (Medium) - Waterproof, durable, and sexy. I use it for school and vacations.
Razer Salmosa Asian Version - Got off woot. Been great so far.
Logitech z313 2.1 Speakers - Good enough sound. Way better than laptop speakers anyways.
Shure SRH 440 - My big headphones. I use it when studying or when I just want to listen to something carefully.
Sennheiser HD218 - I found these refurbed really cheap online. They're really convenient to just toss in my bag and use on the go. Or when I just want a lighter and smaller headphone on my head.
Dell 21.5in 1920x1080 Monitor - I like extra real estate! And not too big for my dorm room when I'm at school.
Hitachi 1TB External HD - For all my media. And for backing up data!
Cheap Belkin Mousepad - It has a wrist rest and works for me!

 

I try to keep my accessories as multi-function and minimal as possible, as I travel with a T61 and my Envy 15:

Sanwa Supply full-size Bluetooth mouse* + slim mousepad - Cheap, functional
Travel power strip - 3 outlets, 2 USB ports. Awesome for airport usage, and I don't have to carry any phone or other chargers with me, just the data cable.
Kensington 120W slim travel power supply - Powers both the Envy and the Thinkpad with just a tip change. Halves the number of adapters, and it's smaller than the default adapter that came with the Envy.
Targus USB hub - Sometimes useful
USB light - Again, sometimes useful
Headphone splitter, extra earbuds, aux cable - great for making friends on the airplane
Brookstone retracting earbuds - Surprisingly comfortable and high-quality sound for an almost reasonable price as far as Brookstone is concerned. I think they were $25 (very similar to these. Probably just rebrands of those).
Motorola BT headset - I've got bluetooth to my car stereo, but I want it on the road, too. It's safer to drive that way.
International plug adapter, inverter - 'nuff said
Network cable - Wireless doesn't get me access to all the networks I need sometimes
500GB External eSATA hard drive - When you've only got 120GB on the internal SSD, you need space for movies and music

*the links are there because I'm just a happy customer

 

lol microsoft wireless 3000 mouse.

but my nettop has printer, 2 external hdds on network share.

 

these days, since i don't need to be too portable with my dell, I just throw the asus in a small 15L day pack and usually I dont even bring my AC adapter since I get 10 hours battery life and if I'm away from home for that long I'm usually running from the cops

I'm still surprised you haven't got some high end bookshelves or floor standing speakers Vogelbung...

 

That's so cool. I didn't know there were such things as these. I'm definitely going to look into getting one. Just gotta read some reviews now.

Here's mine:

Laptop: Lenovo Thinkpad T410
Laptop Sleeve: Waterfield Sleevecase - Horizontal, no flap
Laptop Bag: Waterfield Cozmo - Small
Laptop Accessories Bag: Waterfield 6x9
Mouse: Microsoft Wireless Mobile 6000

When I'm at my desk:

• Razer DeathAdder v2: the 3,500 DPI revision of one of the most iconic and classic 5-button gaming mice of all time. Physically identical to the 1,800 DPI original except for the addition of a braided fiber cable to help prevent snagging. Top notch. Also available in a left-hand edition for the southpaw gamers out there.
• Razer eXactMat: a dual-sided aluminum mouse mat, with a slick Speed side and a coarse Control side, depending on personal preference and mousing style. I pretty much always use the Speed side. The included memory foam wrist pad is nice too.
• Belkin/Razer N52te: a gaming keypad, ergonomically conformed to the left hand with 15 programmable keys, as well as an 8-directional D-pad and a thumb trigger, and adjustable grip placement. The inlcuded software pretty much lets you bind anything to anything, including individual keys, macros, and functions. Excellent counterpart to the DeathAdder.
• Razer Carcharias: I won this headset for free, but having used it for a few months now, I can safely say I would gladly buy one. Sound quality is great coming out and going in. I did spend $15 on replacement ear cushions, to replace the standard cloth pads with faux leather. Much more comfortable and less annoying.

On the go:

• Razer Orochi: Pretty much the best portable laptop mouse there is. It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired with a detachable 3 foot USB cable. Capable of 4,000 DPI in wired mode or 2,000 in Bluetooth, and has a symmetrical ambidextrous design with 7 programmable buttons. Includes its own carrying pouch to hold the mouse itself and the cable.
• Razer Vespula: The successor to the eXactMat. Made of slightly flexible and lightweight plastic instead of aluminum, but similar shape and dual-textured Speed vs. Control design. Slips in my backpack right next to my notebook. Since it holds its own shape, it's great for mousing on otherwise soft surfaces, like my bed or couch.
• JVC HA-RX900: these headphones are actually slightly larger than the Carcharias, but I take them with me since I don't generally need the microphone while I'm out and about, so they're a bit less of a pain to carry around. Great sound for the $55 price tag and plenty of power without an amp.

 

logitech mx 620 mouse. excellent. heavy, and with that lunatic scroll wheel i love.
iBasso D10 USB/optical DAC headphone amplifier with AUX out. excellant again. sounds amazing. internal soundcard sounds like my now.
sony stereo. does the job, and ive not heard anything significantly better for less that £500.
2x2 bottle top stands.
acer H243HX 24 inch 1920x1080 monitor. excellent, but i wish it was IPS.
western digital 1tb external USB HDD.
koss porta pros. meh, better than average and good for the price.
sennheiser MX760 earbuds. very good for £11, but no giant killer.
ultrasone 780 headphones (currently broken) amazing when they worked.
head direct RE0's. amazingly good. really, really nice IEM headphones.

other bits:
xbox 360 controller.
canon printer.
netgear wireless N router.
cheapo logitech wireless keyboard. only used while im in bed cos its horrible to type on.
50Mb fibre optic broadband!!!

things getting added:
new scissor style keyboard.

 

Logitech G13 - I don't think I will ever go without one of these again. Not just great for gaming but using design/other programs too. Just wish I could get the display to show GPU and CPU temps. Excellent quality build period.

Logitech v220 wireless mouse - Inexpensive, portable and works 15 feet away. Will upgrade to maybe the Logitech VX revolution sometime.

Creative Inspire T10 speakers - Great sound, no sub but excellent for an apartment. Pushes Bass with XBas technology. Was quite impressed, found at a 2nd hand store for $15. Plan to upgrade to the Creative Gigaworks T20's.

BenQ 24" monitor - 2ms. 1920x1080 HD. Looks fine.

Zalman NC-2000 cooler - A bit pricey but quality build and quiet. Would like a bit more air pressure coming through but does a good job.

HP mini notebook speakers - Just picked these up and are very impressive for the size and price.

A dust brush - Keeps it looking brand new

 

Is that a denigration or a suggestion?

Some people have more money than the know what to do with. Still, others just have good connections with electronics outlets.

 

@Dune10191 and anyone else with a logitech lcd device.
you can show the temps on it using 2 programs that i know of
1. everest
2. evga precision

Heres a picture i found that show everest running on it

 

Hey thanks ryokowashu I got evga precision working to show some GPU stats in my G13. Nice! +

 

I read on and realized it was for your dorm and not to carry around...

:laugh:

 

• Targus CN31-10 Case
• Microsoft Mobile Mouse 3000
• Flexible Keyboard
• 40GB Sata External HDD (Old laptop hdd)
• 40GB IDE External HDD (Old laptop hdd)

That's it, unfortunately. I have no money, so buying things comes from the parents

I'd like to get the Razer Orochi, or the Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse, but all in time. Plus I'd like to get some sort of sleeve for my laptop too.

 

• Logitech G15
• Logitech G35
• Razer Orochi
• Razer Vespula

 

It's mainly a matter of room size if he's suggesting - although I do think that most members might think the ~$1K/pair 8020A (recently superceded by the 8020B) is high-end given the level of discussions here, even if it happens to be the entry-level monitor for Genelec. I have tried more ambitious setups which haven't been successful.

 

Or maybe you didn't get the sennheiser Orpheus instead of the HD650 as well lol.

 

I have this thing called a living room Not all my tech lurks in my home office, if it isn't the case for you...?

I did briefly try it at one point, and while it was nerdy fun it's completely impractical - both from an accident side (I've run over headphone cables with my chair frequently, occasionally leading up to an Incident), and also in matters of practicality (space, placement, warmup, where you put headphones since even putting it down on a table eventually causes the black finish of the Orpheus to threaten to come off where it contacts the table, as I discovered later).

 

Logitech G9x (replacement for my broken G9). I can't say much about it. It's good, it does what it needs to do. I think it has too many options for an indecisive person like me though. The color, the weights, the grip, the mouse speed, I found myself spending time with each one to decide. I have decided on a light blue light, 3400 DPI standard with 1 higher lvl and 3 lower lvls, the rough grip since I claw grip (although I can still use the smooth grip as a claw grip even though it's supposed to be for palm grippers) and just added the heaviest weight.

A while ago, I was looking for mice and was deciding between the G9 and razer deathadder. I purchased the deathadder first and liked how it looked and felt, but I felt a hot sensation in my palm so I got worried. Also, it seemed to be designed for palm grippers, yet I still clawed it, but I convinced myself the G9 was better for myself as a claw gripper and it didn't give me a troubling sensation. It's a good thing I don't think about it too much anymore but I do often look at accessories and mice is one of them (mostly razer ones... mamba looks cool)

I also own a pair of Creative Fatal1ty headsets 3.5mm one. Bought it for 50$~ 2 or 3 years ago. Pretty comfortable, but isn't great and the wind boom thing falls off all the time, so mic isn't that great. It feels kind of flimsy and cheap though, and I have ordered a pair of G35 headsets which arrive tomorrow. I used the G35 for about a week... and what I can say about those is:

They look pretty good. Good quality, sturdy, and good features. But it is kind of tight; they clamp down quite a bit. I can't say much about the sound as I am not an audiophile, but really doesn't make much of a difference to me between my creative fatality's and the G35. The mic is better than the creatives, so surprise there. No annoying wind boom thing too and can be easily hidden. The buttons on the side are convenient. I use them as back, play/pase, and forward for my iTunes, but seeing as I'll probably use a different media player soon, I don't know what other practical use might it have. Voice morph is neat, but you get bored eventually. Nothing is practical to hide your voice, they all reproduce silly voices. Also, the choices again. Couldn't decide which of the 3 headbands to use. It seemed just a varying thickness. Eventually I chose the least thick one because the thicker ones put more pressure, but kind of confuses me since I can just adjust the height to lift it off my head. Oh yeah, and adjusting the height is not very easy; sometimes it gets stuck.

So yup, G35s arriving tomorrow but I'm wondering if it's worth their cost even if I did get them cheap.

That's all I own for now, unless you want to include my external generic keyboard which is a lot better than using the Asus G73 Chiclet island style keyboard, which loses a lot of my keystrokes.

I am considering buying a better external keyboard. I was thinking of gaming keyboard, but it seems gimmicky and expensive, especially the Logitech's G15s, G19, etc. Screen on the keyboard just seems useless when your focus is on your screen. Your info should be on your screen. I only see a little useful for something running in the background so you don't have to alt tab from a full screen game. On top of all that, I almost never look at my keyboard, but I do want something that looks good, types well, and is decent for gaming.

That said, I was looking at other keyboards like Razer, but still kind of expensive and not that good according to the reviews. I saw a deal for the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard... I didn't dive on the dented box deal a couple of days ago for 36$. Standard price is around 70$. I kind of regret it. It's got many high reviews and I like the looks.

Sorry for the life story D:

 

Yeah, it was meant to be a suggestion. Sorry if it sounded rude or offensive, I tend to accidentally do that sometimes without reading it again.

 

Hmm.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 (Lime, cause green is good, also one of the best mice I've ever used )
HP 16GB USB Flash Drive (I don't even have Half a GB full on the thing, I'm not even sure why I got it besides the point being it was 30 dollars, but I've found uses)
COOLER MASTER Notebook Cooling Model NotePal U2 (Which is more of just a stand with 2 fans, I messed with them and no placement options ended up cooling off the CPU/GPU at all, so I use it to cool the RAM and Wifi card)
Wacom Bamboo Pen (fun to attempt drawing with at least, I use it for writing notes)
Skullcandy ink'd Green earbuds ( Don't eat me, if you want to recommend me some under $35 (maybe more) that have good bass please do so, they're not that bad for 10 dollars)
I also have a Staples brand 3 outlet/2 usb surge protector which is always useful.

I suppose if you want to count a Wired Xbox 360 controller, add that in as well. I have a Zune HD 32GB that I got a week or so ago because the battery in my 80 just up and fried itself. I also have a 1.5TB drive connected via eSATA, but I keep everything I commonly use on my 2 internal drives, so I don't carry that external around. I also have a 10 foot HDMI cable and 2 ethernet cables (one's from a xbox 360 as well).

I normally carry my HDX, its power adapter (sometimes the surge protector), Mouse, flash drive, earbuds in a Targus 17" Groove Backpack, which also fits a few other items if I ever feel like carrying them.

 

Yeah. you definitely have some problems, Chango99. I would stick with logitech keyboards as opposed to razer as well. I love my G15.

 

Logitech may have a better QC streak with their keyboards, but I generally don't like them. I've owned both generations of the G15 and used a G11 as well, and ended up rejecting them because the keys are too mushy; tactile feedback is rather poor. I never really used all those macro buttons anyway.

I've tried a Razer Lycosa and I really like the feel of the keys. Unlike the rubber-dome keys that Logitech uses, the Lycosa has scissor switches, similar to many laptop keyboards. That leads to shorter throw and much more responsive tactile feedback with a solid click.

 

I've always tended to prefer Logitech keyboards myself (I loved my G11), but Razer boards do seem to be better for gaming.

 

Belkin USB 2.0 7-Port Mobile Hub - not only I get extra USB ports, but it also decreases power usage from my cheap notebook, so it might have a slightly positive effect on its temperature and a power supply life. I had also a problem, that I heared the power transfer in headphones, when power hungry devices were connected, it solved it as well.

Logitech Wireless K340 - 3 years battery life, 128-bit encryption, small but with normal size keys, and compact unlike huge Logitech G15v2, which I used before. I also like the tiny receiver for both keyboard and mouse, it can connect up to 6 devices, but so far there is nothing more to connect except keyboards and mouses.

Logitech Wireless M705 - 3 years battery life, the same design as G9, which I had before, but a bit slower, well cable is a cable.

Creative SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 - better than onboard junk, but I kind of miss my old X-Fi Xtreme Gamer from my previous desktop.

Sennheiser PC 161 - solid sound and comfortable to use for houres. I bought wireless RS 120 to replace it, but it was too small with bad bass, now I am thinking about wireless RS 170 with digital sound.

Zalman ZM-NC2000 - I got it to decrease temperature, but undervolting did its job just fine, though it still helps by 5-10C decrease, when it is on, but mostly it is not, since I have underclocked CPU with power mode, the CPU is ~70C in comparison to ~95C by default.

Western Digital My Book 500GB - a backup unit, but I hate, that you need to install WD software to be able to turn it off with offswitch.

 

Alienware M17:

- Roccat Kone Gaming Mouse. A simply awesome gaming mouse that I really can't fault (apart from the fact that lefties can't use it as it's designed ergonomically for righties)

- Razer Goliathus Control mousemat. An excellent supplement to a good gaming mouse like the Kone, as it can seriously improve control as well as accurate tracking.

- Sennheiser CX300 in-ear headphones. Small, convienient, and offer excellent sound for the money. I AM upgrading to better gaming headphones though, most likely the Logitech G35s.

- 2 AA batteries. The cheap way to prop up the back of your notebook and lower temperatures by 2-4C Well, what can I say, it works. Only problem is that the right battery seems to have been weakly magnetised by the subwoofer that's above it...

- Alienware Orion messenger bag for travel. I rarely move it off my desk, only really for LAN parties and cross-country travel. It's a very nice, high quality bag, but putting that weight on one shoulder isn't very comfortable. Knowing that now I'd sooner go for the backpack.

 

Not much really...

On the go, Sennheiser PX200 and a small, cheap travelling mouse, that's it.

At home, I just connect the laptop to an external HD and to a USB DAC I designed and built, along with a pair of AKG K340 (the old ones).

On the market for a good laptop bag with understated looks...

Targus miami messenger: Holds my stuff well and looks professional enough to take to meetings. But can cause back pain if Im carrying around too much.

mobile edge: Works well fits everything I need and has been a great pack for 5 years, but the strap has been ripping for ~1 year.

Cryo NZXT: Cools well out of the box, but for what you get it leaves alot to be desired (3 x 120MM fans should push alot more air). But $30 and 5 mins later it can be the best cooler ever (3 new 90+CFM fans and wired to a spare desktop molex).

Antec notbook cooler s: works almost as well as the modded NZXT yet its mobile. No issues with this cooler other then I have used it so much it wont last forever.

WD 750GB usb powered HDD: mobile, easy to use and backs up my data.

 

With my mbp, I use the following;
Patriot XT 8GB
Vantec USB enclosure with WD 500GB Blue
Razer Kabuto
Razer Orochi

Fiio E3 + Etymotic ER 6i

Umm, the razer Naga doesn't have a side scroll?

 

Side click on the scroll. When I use that I can scroll to the left and right in a web page or document.
