Which Computer Accessories Have You Been Dreaming Of?

I have a confession to make. I’m seriously addicted to gadgets. I just love shiny new digital toys. It doesn’t matter whether they’re computers, smart phones, cameras, hard drives, thumb drives, or mother boards. There always seems to be something I’m dreaming of buying (or receiving). It could be due to the fact the the list of new gadgets never seems to end. Manufacturers seem to keep finding a way to entice us. One that’s on my wish list these days, is a good multi screen video card. I have just the one LCD on my computer right now, and the video card can handle two. The problem is, that buying a second LCD just hasn’t made it high enough on my priority list to break into the spendable section of my budget. But, the other day I see ATI has a new card that’s capable of handling 3 LCD screens of varying sizes. That setup just looked so sweet. I think my budget may just get blown this month.

Another item I’ve been looking for is a good 1tb external hard drive. As much as I like the idea of having that much space, maybe even more with a few of the 1tb drives in a RAID array, it seems hard to find reliable drives. I seem to be acquiring a lot more video and music files on my computer, and I’m kinda getting tired of having to clean stuff off my hard drive all the time. I’ a bit of a pack rat after all.

Well, the list does seem to go on. I think my biggest problem, is not having enough of a budget to buy all the stuff. Gonna have to work a bit harder I guess. Part of the problem, is that for me gadgets really don’t save my time. Sure, I know they’re promoted as time saving devices, but that’s no fun. What’s the point of having all these toys, if you don’t get to spend more time playing with them. Take my new Canon flatbed scanner for example. The day after I got it, I started going through all those albums of photo albums that have been filing the closets around my place. A week later, and I’m still about half way through. Crazy huh?
