Sapphire Radeon 9800XT Videocard review
Until then, there is a healthy selection of graphics cards currently available. The Sapphire Radeon 9800XT weighs in at $450USD ($600CDN), and the only real reason to consider such a pricey piece of hardware is to play games... at high resolutions with all of the visual details maximized. Of those cards currently available, Sapphire's RADEON 9800 XT does an excellent job.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
(first-look) With the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Creative GigaWorks S750, Creative Labs becomes the first company to complement a 7.1 board with matching speakers. Although almost no discrete 7.1-channel content exists (yet), the Audigy 2 ZS can render EAX-compatible game soundtracks as eight completely independent channels, and it can expand stereo, 5.1, and 6.1 source materials into virtual 7.1 content.

Bosswave FinRing Wireless Mouse
Here's something totally different from a traditional mouse - FinRing from Bosswave. It's a little mouse that you wear on your index finger like a ring, and you operate by tilting and pressing the buttons with your thumb. It's wireless, and has a little usb receiver, which they claim acts like a standard usb mouse (so you can plug it into any os that knows about usb).
The receiver looks to be about the size of a cell phone, which might be a bit big, but the mouse itself seems like the ideal wearable mouse solution - very unobtrusive. Or you can get it in hot pink, and have it be very obtrusive.
