Mine is a <a href="http://www.pendrive.com" target="_blank">128MB USB flash drive</a>. I had no idea I would love it as much as I do. Makes life much easier. From the Mac to the PC to the lappy to my client's office back to the lappy back to the PC to the other client's office....
Yes, indeed, my Pen Drive is now my friend.

Woohooo!! I would kill for one of those. Must wait until I can afford a 1gig unit ;)
Ummm... only things ive been purchasing lately, was a spare hard drive, and a video card. Will be looking at a new monitor soon, something nice methinks :)
my latest purchase was more better cooling fans.
I got some of these.
<a href="http://www.thermaltake.com/products/dcfan/a1214.htm" target="_blank">here,I really like them so far</a>
it changes rpm's as the temp goes up,and it works killer!every step from 2100rpm to 5000
pc stuff is pretty much the only "gadhets" I buy,and I buy alot ..... next to that is my gardening and cooking.mmmmmmm
Last gadget I purchased was my external usb hard drive enclosure for a laptop drive that I had. Much like your usb pen renee only mine holds 10gb :D
Just got me a new mobo and 1 gig Celeron - does that count?
IPOD!!!!!
Oh oh oh .. the other thing ive got, are some really, really, really, really cool cordless <a href="http://www.clarion.com.au" target="_blank">Clarion</a> headphones. They have a large 'orb' type thing, that acts as the transmitter, and a switch that trips when you take them off, so you cant accidentally leave them on, wasting battery life.
Its a setup designed for in car use, but I will be modding it all to fit my PC :D
Hmmm....
Lots of them recently. Wired the house for the Network, Rack mount cases for the servers, 16 port 10/100 rack mount switch, New mainboard for MAYHEM, (and trickle down theory for the rest of the machines) Base set for the cell phone(has handset and speakerphone).
Waiting, impatiently, to get my hands on Thrusmasters' HOTAS Cougar.
I got a gizmo...it costs twice as much as a gadget... :D
Actually, I bought one of them thar Microsoft Natural keyboards...I'm still getting used to it. My old reliable 102-key keyboard of more than 10 years died peacefully one morning. I buried it in the garbage can. It was a very emotional time... :(

Don't worry, you're not the only one. :rolleyes:
I got an 128meg <a href="http://www.innogear.com/dmg.html" target="_blank">MP3 player</a> and another 128meg FlashMedia card for it.
Going antique shopping with the g/f tomorrow. I know it isn't hightech but we usually come away with something cool.
I guess my last gadget was an optical mouse. Right now I am saving for a DVD player and a good MP3 player that will hold at least 2 hours of music for working out with. Anybody know of good ones for a decent price that hold a decent amount of music?
Hey, why don't you check out the link in my above post. I got my MP3 player for that same purpose, and it is really cool. With 128 native and 256 expanded, it'll hold the amount of music that you want. check it out.
As for DVD players I like the Panasonic RP-61, but it was too busy for me. I bought the JVC XV-S65GD for $150ish. I would have gotten the JVC XV-SA75GD but you're paying $50 extra bucks for DVD audio, something that has virtually no software support right now.
I am very interested in this MP3 player. My big problem is the price of the players. For 256 megs of space you are paying nearly $300. Heck for a 32meg MP3 player you pay over 100 dollars for what maybe 6 to 8 songs depending on length. The only way I could possibly afford it would be credit card(rather than debit). Thanks for the link though, I saved it incase I get some of my money problems straightened out soon.
I didn't even notice, but the price went up. I got mine for $190 then I got a 128meg SanDisk FlashMedia card for $50 at CompUsa. All told I paid about $250, spread out over 2 weeks though, which does make it easier to swallow. Then again I spent $5k on my TV, I love my gadgets.
MODDING SUPPLIES!!!

cleetus,
have you seen the rio volt or AVC soul players? They are portable CD/MP3 players. I have the AVC soul. I rip all the albums I have from any particular artist and burn them as 160KB mp3 on one CD. I get almost 10 hours of music per CD. I only carry around 10CDs in my car but I have almost 100hours of music on those 10 cds combined. I got the AVC soul for only $119 and that was quite a while ago.
Here's a <a href="http://www.jandr.com/JRProductPage.process?RestartFlow=t&Merchant_Id=1& Section_Id=1139&pcount=&Product_Id=2693885&Sort=Mf r_Name,Current_Price,Product_Name" target="_blank">LINK </a> to Mine, and I love it. The 1280x1024 is a bit difficult to get used to, but overall I highly recommend this monitor....

You told me about that, and I was assuming the price would be more.
That's a great "gadget"!
Can't you pump it up to 1600x1200? That's what I have on my 19" CRT and it looks great.
The price is what sold me (and was 50$ cheaper when I ordered it). It's a refurb, but has a 1 yr warranty, As for higher rez, I haven't tried, my ASUS v7700 deluxe should support it, if it won't, I'll be looking for a new vid card as soon as I get this paid off......

I thought of that, but when you're working out a CD based player is just too big, you need something small that you can tuck in your pocket and forget it, that won't skip while you run, and isn't too heavy. You can't beat CDs for price and capacity though.

Your Asus <a href="http://www.asus.com/vga/agpv7700d/overview.htm" target="_blank">GTS 7700</a> can do it without a hitch.
If it's the <a href="http://www.asus.com/vga/agpv7700ti/overview.htm" target="_blank">Ti 7700</a>, don't even worry about it ;)
I got that fancy new 40X Plextor CD-RW drive a couple weeks ago. That is the neatest thing I've purchased in quite some time. :-)
