    I thought it depends who you buy it from; unless all resellers are bundling the Logitech mouse. I know www.geared2play.com includes a mouse with the Z63A, not sure about anyone else (seeing as I just ordered it from them, heh.

    As for the battery, I also think you have to get that from the reseller. At the above mentioned site, it was an optional ~$95, but I just went with the full-size 8 cell for the same price b/c I heard the Z63A/W3V does not get stellar battery life (~3 hours), and wanted something for on the road.

    The logitech mouse, the carry bag, and the 8-cell battery are all included with the barebone in the United States. Dealers shouldn't be charging extra for these. The 2nd battery has to be purchased separately if you want it, as does the wireless card.

    It does not come with the barebone. You'll need to buy the Intel wireless and install it. Instructions for installing can be found in the sticky.

    If you buy a completed barebone, they should install it for you.
