Got a pair of LTB 5.1 MG-AC97 headphones up for grabs. Used 'em for about a month and decided I didn't care for them. The bass is kinda lousy in the rear channel. I hear the Zalmans have the same problem, though.
They're real 5.1 headphones with three speakers per cup. The audio positioning is quite good, and the volume control on the left ear is also handy. They aren't the lousy USB type with their own built-in junky 5.1 sound card, either. They have four minijacks (one for mic) and use the 5.1 outs on your pre-existing sound card, though they use a USB connector to power the built in amp.

Comes with all cables and optional AC adapter. $50 shipped.

Also, I pulled a Samsung 256MB PC100 SDRAM SODIMM from my old Compaq P3 notebook (1800-XL1). This stuff is true low density and has 16 chips on the module. Should work in any notebook that takes PC100. I mean, seriously... That Compaq had a 440LX-Mobile chipset. That's first gen right there.

$30 shipped.

Lastly, a Crucial 128MB PC100 SDRAM SODIMM. Same deal as the other.

$10 shipped.
