    Does anyone here use a docking station? I need some recommendations. I use the Razer Barracuda headset and the connection requires 1 usb + 2 audio jacks (front & rear) and mic. It's just too messy having all these plugged in including my mouse, external HD, and laptop cooler. I'm having to unplugged all these devices everytime going to the restroom..lol.

    Most of the docking stations available only have 2.1 sound... meaning 1 jack for output (headphones/speakers), 1 jack for input (mic).

    as for the other stuff, any docking station with 3-4 USBs should do fine.

    Check out the:
    - Kensington SD100 (or SD100S ... with notebook stand)
    [​IMG]

    its inexpensive and has good reviews... many great powered-USB ports and 2.1 sound.

    Or if you want 5.1 audio:
    - Kensington KMW33239 / 33239
    [​IMG]
    3 USB ports, 5.1 audio output jacks (1 for front, 1 for rear), 1 audio input (mic).
