printer (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11203&item=6727808331&rd=1)

My DVD burner is a Digital Technologies 8x writer. Bought it at Best Buy for $59 and not one coaster yet. :)

For real cheap, go with the NU Technology Black 8X DVD+RW/-RW Drive (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-154-009&depa=1).

But I would suggest this Sony Dual Layer 16X DVD+/- (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-131-242&depa=1)

The 5700U should have tv-out (s-video).

Maybe this Lexmark X5150 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=28-106-135&depa=1) printer.

Id suggest getting a nice 5.1 speaker setup instead of an expensive pair of headphones.

EDIT: Maybe Creative Inspire P7800 7.1 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=36-116-153&depa=0)
and
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 7.1 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=29-102-176&depa=0) cound card

Headset

http://www.firebox.com/?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=691

I managed to get mine from Play.com @ £40. I can't belive I've been paying £10 every couple of months for them to fail on me. These are the best headphones & mic I've ever used and I'm glad I bought them.

You'll have to look for prices in US / Canada, as you never specified where you're from.

Samurai :ph34r: Im behind you! :P No really I'm from Michigan in the USA. That does look like a good headset but I was looking for a little more basic but I do have the buget for something else. O yea and Singaboiy, I wanted a headset with the mic attached to it so I could talk in online games, I already have a 5.1 setup.
