Specs:
External, PC, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wired
The Bottom Line
Logitech's revised version of its already distinctive G15 gaming keyboard adds polish and trims some of the fat. Throw in the now-mature user community that churns out lots of homebrew apps for the built-in LCD screen, and we'd recommend this keyboard to any PC gamer as a unique, useful, and customizable input device.

Specs:

The Bottom Line
The 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP display delivers across the board in performance, design, and features. It excelled with movies and games, making it not only an excellent choice as an entertainment display, but also great for everyday Windows tasks.

Specs:
Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 4 in x 6 in, Wired, Wireless, 20 pages/min, 14 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Infrared
The Bottom Line
It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.

Specs:
Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 dpi
The Bottom Line
The HP Officejet J6480 has a lot of built-in features that are rarely found included in a $200 printer. Shoppers looking for an all-inclusive multifunctional unit will be impressed with the robust hardware and rich print quality.

Specs:
Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet
The Bottom Line
The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your $150 would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.

Specs:
External, Game console, Game pad, Wireless, Black, 4-way D-pad, Two thumb sticks
The Bottom Line
While it costs a bit more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning.

Specs:
Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 9600 x 4800 dpi
The Bottom Line
The Canon Pixma MX7600 multifunction is a huge improvement over the previous model. With additional features such as an autoduplexer, increased faxing options, and an upgraded control cockpit, we have no problem recommending the MX7600.

Specs:
Flat panel display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050, Silver, 0.282 mm, 2 ms
The Bottom Line
The Dell SP2208WFP is a versatile 22-inch display monitor that delivers outstanding overall performance and a pleasing design for a price that's hard to beat.

The Bottom Line
The Nyko Perfect Shot is an affordable alternative to the Wii Zapper--we just wish it was as comfortable.

The Bottom Line
With only a couple of small downsides, the Nyko Charger Grip for PSP delivers exactly what it promises: a more ergonomic gaming experience on your slim PSP and up to 10 hours of extra battery life.

Specs:
Flat panel display / TFT active matrix, 22 in - Widescreen, 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz, 0.282 mm, 2 ms
The Bottom Line
For boardrooms and public spaces in need of a LCD conversation piece, the Dell Crystal might find a home. For those not operating on a bloated corporate budget, however, there are plenty of other 22-inch LCDs that cost a fraction of the cost.

Specs:
Digital photo - Thermal inkjet - Color laser paper, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Custom (8.5 in x 17 in), Digital photo, Modem, PC, Mac, 1 year warranty
The Bottom Line
All-in-one printers are a tough sell, and we must insist that manufacturers release machines that produce prints with the same standard of quality as their individual counterparts. With that in mind, we can't recommend the Lexmark x7550 because of its poor quality prints and several mechanical snags.

The Bottom Line
The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but don't expect it to handle even the most minor graphic jobs.

Specs:
Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Wired, Wireless, PC, Mac, USB, 802.11b, 802.11g
The Bottom Line
HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker.

Specs:
Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Letter A Size (8.5 in x 11 in), Wired, 22 pages/min, 17 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB
The Bottom Line
The Canon Pixma iP2600 is an excellent option for buyers looking to print their personal photos and text documents. We wish it had external ports for direct image uploading (although we're not surprised it doesn't), but you'll be more than satisfied with this printer's ability to deliver quality photos at a low price.
