Hell, in December alone I spent over $300 on computer gadgets. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to talk about SOME of the computer gadgets I was able to collect in 2007!<\/p>\n<p>First of all, here is a picture of my laptop setting just next to my desktop PC. It is an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookreview.com\/default.asp?newsID=3313&#038;review=Asus+A8Js\">Asus A8Js <\/a>and you won&#8217;t find it in Kuwait because I searched it everywhere and couldn&#8217;t find it so I decided to buy it overseas.<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laptop.JPG' title='Laptop'><img src='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laptop.thumbnail.JPG' alt='Laptop' \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the picture to see a large size.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my 3rd laptop and my first laptop I bought it from UK about 9 years ago. I think its from somewhere in Newcastle. I won&#8217;t show it to you because it is ugly and broken.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll start off with my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logitech.com\/index.cfm\/gaming\/pc_gaming\/joysticks\/devices\/286&#038;cl=us,en\">Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick<\/a> which I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really happy with it. The control is really excellent and comfortable as well as its weight and size. Easy to access buttons and fast respond (at least for me). I mainly use it for Flight Simulator X and X3: Reunion games. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give this joystick 8\/10\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/joystick.JPG' title='Joystick'><img src='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/joystick.thumbnail.JPG' alt='Joystick' \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the picture to see a large size.<\/p>\n<p>Keyboard has been an essential component even for my laptop. I have been using wireless keyboards since few years back when I went to Canada and bought my first Wireless Creative keyboard from Best Buy, Eaton Centre in Toronto, for freaking sake $150 (now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s broken). This year alone I have bought several keyboards and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking to buy the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logitech.com\/index.cfm\/keyboards\/keyboard_mice_combos\/devices\/3072&#038;cl=us,en\">Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave<\/a> for my Desktop, I saw it in Best Buy the other day. Currently, the best keyboard of the year is my dear <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logitech.com\/index.cfm\/keyboards\/keyboard_mice_combos\/devices\/167&#038;cl=us,en\">Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser<\/a> (with mouse) which I usually connect it to my laptop. It is a Split-key which seems to be very comfortable for fast typing without looking in the keyboard. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give it 9\/10&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/keyboard.jpg' title='Keyboard'><img src='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/keyboard-small.jpg' alt='Keyboard small' \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the picture to see a large size.<\/p>\n<p>I have also bought several sound cards and speakers\/headphones for my laptop and desktop PC. I do not use anything less than 5.1 for speakers anymore and I own a <a href=\"http:\/\/us.creative.com\/products\/product.asp?category=4&#038;subcategory=25&#038;product=10596\">Creative Inspire P5800<\/a> 5.1 speaker which was bought at the beginning of the year and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad I did. And of course I had to buy a sound  card for my desktop and another for my laptop to provide high quality sound in both machine which are <a href=\"http:\/\/us.creative.com\/products\/product.asp?category=209&#038;subcategory=669&#038;product=16642\">X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundblaster.com\/products\/product.asp?category=1&#038;subcategory=206&#038;product=10702\">Live! 24-bit External<\/a>, both from Creative. But for 2007 I give my Logitech Digital Precision PC Gaming Headset as the best owned speakers\/headphones of the year and its in the upper right corner of next picture. Hmmm, superb sound quality for gaming or any use and it includes a USB input or you can use the normal 3.5mm analog connector. It has a unique design that allows air to flow into your ears to feel cushioned and comfortable\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 9\/10 should do it.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sound-related-gadgets.jpg' title='Sound and related gadgets'><img src='http:\/\/blog.flashcolony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sound-related-gadgets-small.jpg' alt='Sound and related gadgets small' \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the picture to see a large size.<\/p>\n<p>There are many other gadgets I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to share, but the post will really get long and boring.
