 | Portable Apple MacBook Pro MA896LL/A 15-inch Notebook PC (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive)
Buy new: $1,899.00 Standard configuration, except I maxed out the RAM (for a total of 4GB)
|
 | Targus PA248U Notebook Chill Pad
Buy new: $21.91 / Used from: $10.95 Not the price model I have - I got a generic Japanese model on eBay - but they all do basically the same thing.
|
 | Apple Cinema 20-inch Flat-Panel Display
Buy new: Too low to display Prices have dropped considerably since I bought this in '05... I'll probably be upgrading to the 23" HD model within a year.
|
 | Apple iSight Video Conferencing Webcam with Autofocus
Buy used from: $129.99 It's a shame Apple didn't continue making these after they put the lower-quality versions in all the iMacs and laptops... I got mine on eBay.
|
 | Apple Wireless Keyboard Kit
Buy new: $79.00 / Used from: $57.49 Not only pretty, but very easy for me to type on... doesn't tire me out like my previous keyboard. And did I mention it's pretty?
|
 | Kensington 64321 Wireless Studio Mouse USB
I have the wired version
|
 | JBL Creature II 3-Piece Powered Speaker System
Buy used from: $100.00 I've had these since I got my first Mac (the original, beloved G4 iMac) back in 2002, and six years later they still sound and look fabulous. If I were to make a change in my speakers, I'd just switch to the Aluminum version, which would blend in a bit better my current setup.
|
 | Apple iPod nano 8 GB Pink (3rd Generation)
Buy new: $132.98 / Used from: $94.99 The best iPod I've owned. The size and weight are perfect for me (I can actually operate it with one hand, which is really saying something for me) and it's nice to be able to distract myself with TV when my pain starts acting up away from home.
|
 | Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones
Buy new: $16.28 / Used from: $29.99 I've always had trouble finding headphones that really worked for me because of the way I have to hold me head up (my hand can get in the way of/squish my left ear). These are perfect, though, and they let in enough ambient sound that I feel safe using them while walking Sydney.
|
 | Elgato EyeTV 250
Buy used from: $138.99 This little baby has served me long and well, and I find myself watching TV nearly as much on my Mac as on an actual TV. I plan to upgrade it to an HDTV model (used with a settop box from Brighthouse) once I get a larger Cinema Display.
|
 | LaCie 301103U F.A. Porsche 500 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
Buy used from: $100.00 Partioned into two equal volumes, one for EyeTV recordings and one for Time Machine backups
|
 | Elgato Turbo.264 - Video H.264 (MP4) Encoder Hardware 10020500
Buy new: $76.95 For putting shows recorded with EyeTV on my iPod
|
 | Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8-Inch Pen Tablet
Buy new: Too low to display A gift from my parents (one of those things I'd never be able to justify splurging on for myself). It's turned out to be surprisingly helpful. By switching between the keyboard and tablet (w/ InkWell) I keep more muscles working but get less tired. Also crazy fun w/ Skitch!
|
 | MicFlex
For use withDictate from MacSeech. Neat feature: The gooseneck itself and the base are two separate pieces; when I'm not at home, I can plug the mic directly into a USB port on my Mac.
|
 | Cables To Go 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub
Buy new: $17.79 / Used from: $31.89 Pricey for a hub, but completely worth it.
|
 | Casio Exilim EX-Z1080 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti-Shake Optical Zoom (Blue)
Buy used from: $155.00 Got this because my old camera couldn't record video. Actually weighs less than my old (much smaller) Canon, and the buttons are really easy to push, so I can use it myself instead of always having someone else take the pictures. I have a 4GB SD chip.
|
 | Sandisk SDAD109A11 Digital Media Memory Card to Express Slot Adapter
Buy new: $14.44 / Used from: $29.99 For transferring photos from my camera. Perfect use of the MacBook Pro's Express Card slot (which I thought I'd never use), and one less USB doodad to deal with.
