Personal Assistant for Your Monitor

The Pertelian is your monitor's best friend. All day WOW sessions don't leave much time to display essentials like e-mail messages, or stock quotes. This handy backlit LCD display plugs into an extra USB port and gives you all kinds of useful data nuggets while your main display is busy with boring essentials like 3D graphics. Now the revised V5 model offers some incredible new features like monitoring of eBay auctions, Gamefire, streaming IRC chat and updates on the latest posts in your favorite forums. Plus if you've got some programming talents you can even code your own custom apps for Pertelian... and hey it looks great nestled between your quad flat-screen gaming setup.

The Pertelian Display has a budding homebrew community. Visit Pertelian.com for more information on writing custom Pertelian applications for Windows and Linux.

Stop Clock
A community suggested feature, this is just one of those features which can find a home with just about anyone. Stop clocks are hardly readily avaiable, much less an electronic one which displays independent of the computer monitor and allows for various timers to display at one time. Whether timing presentation length, employee's time at work, or time it takes to get a frag online.
