Cute Creative Speakers
Got this one for 30$$ for listening to music at office. Never ended up using it at office, as I am never in the office.

HD - 50 Inch Plasma TV
Its about 4 or 5 months since I bought this TV..well its not a TV but a panel which means it has no built in tuner in it. Whats the big deal any way as you will any way pay for a cable box or satellite reciever which itself is the tuner. This model Panasonic (Panny) 7UY (now replaced by 8UK) was bought for 3700$ plus shipping which looked like a nice deal at that time, now most TV prices has slashed drastically. The panel has no speakers either. This will let you choose your own surround sound system, rather than relying on built in speakers on the TV. The stand cost me around 600$ - a 170 pound all metal Bello stand with built in clamps to hold the TV. I have a good 9 feet viewing distance in my apartment. Also the Pannys have moudlar slots for each inp utcards. Comes with a built in VGA port, a component input and a composite input. One of the slots is empty where you can add a HDMI or DVI card and get digital HD input from a DVD player or cable box that has DVI or HDMI out.
Nice value for the money you spend, its the best viewing expereience i have ever had in my life.

SanDisk USB Memory Card Reader
This is one of the smallest memory card reader (5 in 1) that I have seen in the market. It reads SD and MMC (primary use is to read Camera mem. cards). It also reads Memory sticks from Sony, RS-MMC and TF. Now I dont know what RS-MMC and TF is, but this product is of great use to transfer photos or files from a SD or MMC card in your phone, pda or camera to your PC. Considering the small form factor and price - 20$, I would give a full rating of 10/10 to this one.

Casio Exilim 5.0 Mega Pixel Camera
This camera is an excellent choice for the money you pay less than 400 $...Slim, compact and still use point and shoot with 3x optical and 4x digital zoom. Also has a built in Anti shake DSP which prevents shaky/blurry images. Bought this camera from Norman Camera in Michigan - an excellent store to buy your cameras online. Shipping was cheap and was right on time.
IOGEAR Print server
An excellent purchase - I would say, worth the money you pay! Compact and cute - I always like products from IOGEAR. A print server adapter helps to print to any printer with a USB port (1.1 standard) over the network. This eliminates the need for a PC to be kept on all the time (especially in a home network with a shared printer) to print documents from other PCs or Laptops. Having 2 PCs and 2 laptops at home (used by me and my wife), it was annoying to have a PC share a printer and having to turn the PC on, all the time to print.
The print server has one USB port and one 10/100 port (USB goes to printer and Ethernet goes to your network). The product also comes with a software driver and Print Server monitor that helps discover the print server and assign it a static IP address. Here is a snapshot of the PSMonitor software.
