    Obviously, I use mine for gaming. Was wondering what mice everyone used? I also want to get a pad/cooler for playing with it actually in my lap. All of those seem made for 15.4" notebooks, and the hotspot on my 7805 seems to be back left. I want a pad (or fan cooler that works on a lap) that will cover the whole bottom.

    Razer DeathAdder Guild Wars Edition

    Amazing mouse, and spot the colour coordination ;)

    [​IMG]

    SteelSeries SteelPad 4D

    The matt side compliments the Razer perfectly for super smooth movement.

    [​IMG]

    Cooler Master NotePal Infinite

    Fits like a glove and air intakes are on rear rather than bottom so can be used on any surface.

    [​IMG]

    Booq Boa Slimcase XXL

    Stunning quality and look at the coordination again :D

    [​IMG]

    Cyber Snipa Gamepad

    To stop me wrecking my keyboard when I freak out playing L4D, can also turn blue light off not to break that all important coordination :)

    Etymotic Research hf2 Earphones

    The one gadget I would simply not live without, absolutely mind blowing sound (very similar to Etymotic ER•4s).

    [​IMG]

    TeVii S650 DVB-S2 USB TV Tuner

    For HD Satellite reception.

    [​IMG]

    Sumvision TB32 Dual Bay eSATA HDD Raid Enclosure

    With 2 x Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB hard drives for media storage.

    [​IMG]

    Sony VPL-HS60 Projector

    Running HDMI to the Sony which projects onto a 106" Optoma GreyWolf II retro reflective screen.

    Denon AVR-3805 Home Cinema Receiver and Mordaunt Short Genie 7.1 Speakers

    Running optical to the Denon for a full 7.1 sound experience (when available).

    :D

    Oh and my girlfriend bought me one of these USB powered vacuum cleaners:

    What a pile of crap. Thought that counts though.

    That looks perfect. I am not really using it on a surface though. Do you use this on your lap? Is it comfortable?

    Excellent information. Where did you purchase all of this from as I think I'm gonna get it ALL for my daughter and her 7811. :) Also, I have been using the Logitech G-5 or MX518 mouse. I have been very pleased with them.

    I got the mouse, mouse mat, cooler and gamepad in the UK most from play.com. The bag and headphones in the US directly from the manufacturers.

    The Boa is perfect. Mine should be here in about a week. Booq's shipping charges were unreal.

    Very cool. If only they made a similar model that was a bit more mobile friendly.

    I use the VX Revolution for my 7811, good enough for majority of games, for CS or BF, i plug in my MX518. Use a simple Fragmat for the mouse pad (wow edition that i got for 4 bucks), and I just use the Belkin notebook cooler that props it up and keeps it relatively cool.
    Bag is a Targus CityGear Miami (well actually older version thats similar to the Miami), Bose Companion 2 speakers (were on sale at BJs for 70 bucks), and Soundblaster X-Fi Express sound card.

    Check out this video, their using a FX!!!

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7b7qg_logitech-21-audio-hub-pc-speakers_tech

    Does anyone have a free shipping code for Tigerdirect? The speakers come out to $40.12 after shipping, still a good deal, but I save where I can :)

    UPDATE* buy it through Amazon.com , you will save about $5.00 to $6.00 Bucks! The funny thing is your still getting it from tigerdirect :)

    Those speakers seem pretty amazing and they also have a small sub!! Am very tempted...

    For browsing the net or just everyday stuff I use a VX revolution.
    For gaming I use the logitech mx518se which is a redding/orange color so nice match.
    For cooling I have the same infinite coolermaster. It is a little small in the front (laptop sticks out 1" on each side) but the holes do line up nicely and I'm satisfied with my temps. If the Cyro was a little cheaper I would have gotten that but it's double the price!!
    For headphones I use Koss KSC-75 - Unbelievable sound for the money and very comfortable.
    Don't have a bag but I use the Targus CVR217 slip case to carry it around. Very good padding.

    Everyone is a little shallow, so they want to see the looks :p

    USB Vacuum cleaner? DO WANT!... actually..

    Now all you need to do is start your own religion.

    Not to be mean, but the thought there seems to be "Get off your lazy butt and clean this dump"
