    I think most of that stuff is overkill and barely needed.

    The ethernet cable is a good idea, I got one from nVidia while I was at one of their shows, its pretty useful, I found myself using it alot. I'd check out eBay for this, often stores are pretty expensive.

    USB Light? Dollar store.

    USB retractable cable? What kind? The dual ones?

    Optical mouse? Look at Microsoft, Targus and Logitech mouses!

    USB numberpad, often not really needed, you'll need to get used to the numbers on KB anyways..

    But if you must want the USB numberpad, look at Logitech's DiNovo's KB+Mouse set

    Earbuds? I'd just use whatever's with my mp3 player :p

    Most earphones that come with mp3 players are pretty crappy.

    Look for some decent buds, like Sennheiser.

    edit: You mean a USB hub?
