10 most extreme accessories for computer geeks

Here are the Top Ten Computer Accessories for Web Search computer geeks; Computer geeks are notoriously difficult to shop for, but these geeky gift ideas will help you get your holiday shopping done - and it's all from the comfort of your own home.

1. Digital Picture Frame with Remote

Instead of using up valuable hard drive space to store your digital photos, simply pop the memory card out of your digital camera and place it into the Digital Picture Frame - you can view all of your photos as a slideshow, control fadeouts, and you can even add music. Very cool; comes with remote control. Perfect for geeky grandparents, perhaps?

2. Illuminated Mouse Pad

For those of us whose Dilbert mouse pads are sadly losing their flair. This Illuminated Mouse Pad comes with seven different color combinations, and is a "Gaming enthusiast approved mousing surface". I just think it looks really cool.



3 Antec PC Case

In the market for a good, solid, no frills (well, maybe a couple) PC case? A friend of mine just bought the Antec PC Case and couldn't be happier. Features "10 drive bays, a removeable motherboard tray, and a low-speed 120mm fan...front-mounted USB, firewire and audio ports."


4. Rear View Mirror For Your PC

Say you're at work, and you're playing a hot game of RuneScape online against your fellow cube slaves, and your boss keeps catching you, leading to awkward explanations? Squirm no longer, because a simple rearview mirror will save you.



5. USB Optical Liquid Mouse

This USB Optical Liquid Mouse is a great way to give your hand and wrist a bit of a break while surfing the Web.


6. Illuminated Keyboard

As someone who makes their living on the Web, I spend a lot of late nights blearily propping up my eyelids with toothpicks just so I can report on the latest Web trends and actually get some work done (that part about the toothpicks was kind of a lie-that would hurt). So, this Illuminated Keyboard is just the thing for us late night Web surfers.

7.Logitech Internet Chat Headset

For anyone who telecommutes and needs to talk via Skype or Google Talk, this Logitech Internet Chat Headset is a solid solution. "The Internet Chat Headset has it all at a great price: rich stereo sound, a noise-canceling microphone, in-line control for extra convenience, and a sleek behind-the-head design. The 9-foot cable gives you plenty of room to move around." I've got one of these on order from a friend's suggestion-he said that it was "the best one he'd found out there."

8. Mobile Edge Madison Tote-High Style Laptop Carrying Case for the Geeky Girl

Available in a stylish black or two-tone (gray and black) design. This does not look like the run of the mill laptop carrying cases out there; it looks more like a largish Hermes bag, if you ask me (and that's why I like it so much). Real leather accents, SafetyCell computer protection compartment,and extra compartments for all your extra stuff.


9. SnapStream Beyond TV 3 - PVR Software and Setup

Your PC can be used for a lot of things: work, play, surfing the Web, and watching and recording your favorite TV shows and movies. With SnapStream Beyond TV 3 (formerly PVR), you can "use your PC to record, watch, pause, and SmartSkip your favorite programs using the award-winning ViewScape interface." No clunky video tapes needed, and you can record and store all your favorite shows from one central location-your PC-and then download and stream them to any room in your house.

10. Wi Fi Signal Locator-Use Your Keychain To Find Hot Spots

Just the other day, I watched and waited as four different people had to boot up their laptops and manually search for a signal. This would have been a lot faster if we would have had the Wi Fi Signal Locator. This is the world's smallest Wi Fi signal detector, and fits easily on your keychain. Best of all: you don't have to boot up and waste valuable battery time, you can just let your Wi Fi Signal Locator do the work. Next time I go to the local coffee shop to surf the Web, I'm taking this.
