Those thinking of building up a new LAN Box (or 'everything' box that just happens to be portable) should check out the new SG08 Lite case from Silverstone, a compact cube that supports an ATX power supply, or the eVGA Hadron which includes a slim 500W PSU already and is easily slung under your arm. Both support moderately high end graphics cards and coolers, so can still make a great performing gaming system.
I have a new favourite headset too - although admittedly that changes a lot, but still, I feel like telling everyone about them - the QH-90 in QPAD are available in black or white and have great passive noise reduction, sound excellent in games and music alike and score highly for comfort too. Plus the metal frame feels quite substantial too, they seem to tick all the boxes for an ideal LAN headset really.
Bringing your laptop to LAN and not wanting to roast it (or your wrists) over a whole weekend of gaming? CoolerMaster's Notepal II is mighty handy, and lifts your screen to a more ergonomic height, and gives you a good reason to use a mechanical keyboard too. We have loads of those. Shop by switch type or brand (eg Filco, CM Storm, Ducky, QPAD, TT eSports, Corsair, DAS Keyboard, Roccat, ZOWIE...) - there's bound to be something for every taste in there.
Mionix's mice range are updated with new models, including a 7000dpi version of the Naos mouse which has often been popular for its sculpted design with rest for 4th and 5th fingers, and a new ambidextrous model, Avior, giving lefties another choice in the admittedly slim number of models out there, but packing in plenty of features like a high performance sensor, 7 programmable buttons, lift off distance calibration and surface quality analyser.
