LTK:
Do you clean out the heat sink once in a while? When my mom's laptop was starting to get really hot and noisy, I cracked it open and found a centimeter-thick strip of dust and hair just behind the exhaust. After pulling that out it was right as rain. I can't say it'll solve all your problems by doing the same, but one's better than none.

This one, a Naga Razor:



The numberpad on the side took a lot of getting used to, and even today I typically only use 1-3, but even just those three buttons adds a lot of functionality.

Oh, I've seen that one. Razer makes some interesting stuff but I never got the impression they make quality products. I'd say that they're mostly gimmicky, but that would be a bit hypocritical given that my own mouse is a Logitech Darkfield, which is a laser mouse that's advertised to work even on transparent and reflective surfaces. It really does, but there are only a handful of occasions where I've had the opportunity to try it out. I mean, how many glass tables do you work on every day?

Aside from that, it also has two side buttons that are really handy for web browsing. I feel handicapped whenever I use a mouse that hasn't got a Back button. Aside from that, I wouldn't really know what to do with extra thumb buttons in non-gaming related situations.

My wife's work table has a glass top with a ground underside (it's from Ikea).

My "dying" computer has not frozen for 72 hours, which is good.  I also know that while I am typing this, it will probably freeze in the middle of this post. 

Had a problem with the delivery of my new computer.  It should be here tomorrow morning.  Delivery problem was that the delivery tech and I could
nor get together on a time before tomorrow (several appointments on my part, which were at odds with his schedule).  I am looking forward to having a new computer.

Is it a light table?

pwhodges:
No, just a table whose top is glass.
