Pertelian's External LCD Display keeps fraggers informed
If you're having a hard time pulling away from a frag fest to check for an e-mail from your mom or an IM from the girlfriend, you might want to check out Pertelian's External LCD Display, which connects over USB and shows what's going on in the background while you're capping another baddie. It can display e-mail headers, IM messages, the weather, RSS feeds (like ours), CPU stats, media player data, and more. You can even set up hotkeys to control all this info without ever leaving the game, including quick responses to IMs and skipping through and searching your songs to keep the tunes pumpin'. It's $80 at ThinkGeek, but you might have to leave the compy for a few to meet the delivery guy at the door, so it's a tough call.
