After much soul searching, I bought the G51 BB model. I am looking for input from other users as to which accessories to get. Got a sleeve case, cooler, etc? I would love to hear your thoughts. Links are welcome.

I bought a Zalman NC2000 cooler. They are pretty well regarded around these parts, which influenced my decision to order it online from TigerDirect.
I also got a Targus backpack for 17" inch laptops. I forgot what the exact name of the bag was, but it goes for pretty cheap on Amazon. It's somewhere in the top reviewed laptop backpacks. -

I have:
17-inch Swiss Gear satchel
Logitech mx518 1800 DPI (budget) gaming mouse (Thinking about replacing)
Zalman NC2000 aluminum cooler
Dynex USB hub

Beat up Logitech (budget) gaming headset. Soon to be replaced

Logitech G35 7.1 Surround Sound Headset
Razer Mamba Wireless Mouse(overkill, but sexy as hell)[for gaming use]
Logitech x-530 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers
Logitech V450 Nano Wireless Mouse[for regular use]
Swiss 17" Laptop Backpack
Planning to pick up:
Rocketfish Micro-USB Bluetooth Adapter
Motorolla Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Razer ExactMat Gaming Mouse Pad
Intel X-25 G2 Series 80GB SSD
320GB Western Digital Portable HDD
Creative X-Fi 5.1 Surround Sound USB Soundcard
Still considering:
Insignia 42" 1080p 120Hz LCD TV
Overall, I'd say the Razer Mamba is ridiculously overkill, but I got a pretty good hook-up with my employee discount...;P
The Logitech x-540s are definitely very awesome speakers though, I would definitely recommend them if you want some very very awesome yet still cheap speakers. I haven't gotten a chance to mess with the Logitech headset much yet, but so far its a very nice sounding headset.
If you want to wirelessly listen to music, the Motorola headset is very nice from what my friends that have it tell me. I'm going to be using it in my room when I want to walk around or lay down on my bed, and then use it with my iPhone for walking back and forth to class. -

And either an Alienware Orion backpack, or the Asus backpack it came with -
A few of the thing I carry with me I already had:
An Arc Mouse; I like the aesthetics, and I don't need a mouse with 10000dpi to dominate in FPSs. I was actually going to buy a cheap wireless mouse and my brother said, "You're going to have a $1000 laptop with a $20 dollar mouse." SO I dropped the extra on a nice one.
By the way, I recommend the Arc mouse. I've had one set of batteries in it since I bought it six months ago, and use it whenever I'm on my laptop. Really thrifty.
I have an Ogio Urban bag to carry the laptop, power brick, and everything else. It's for 15.4" laptops, but there's enough clearance to fit the G51, and the other pockets fit my books for class. I like messenger bags more than back packs: there's less harm to your back.
A 6' HDMI cable that came with my 360.
A micro-USB cable that came with my Dare.
Three pens (class)
One five subject notebook I just bought and will probably last me the next two semesters.
And that's it. I need to pick up one of those IOGear micro dongles for Bluetooth eventually. -
