    External HDD? you could get some good games too. I'd opt for multiple older titles rather than one brand new one.

    Just double.. or triple your limit and get some nice headphones. I know I use my headphones more than anything else laptop related. I base what laptops I'm willing to buy off which ones can hook up to my soundcard(firewire).

    Yeah, sennheisers are nice. I haven't personally tried the HD-555's but I've used other models from them. I personally use the Ultrasone HFI-780's but they're around 185USD. If you've soldered things before then you can easily switch the 1/4" adapter to a 3.5mm which is alot easier to use in a portable situation. And as far as Best Buy is concerned, I've never seen a reasonably priced set in there.

    so you know, the 555's come with the 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter.

    good choice, but why go for the 555's when you posted you wanted cans in the 350 range?
