What do you want on your AnandTech Gear?

I think the keychain bottle opener'd be a cool idea

Any chance that you could make the mousepads in Surface 1030 style? Firingsquad.com swears by them and I have a Gamers.com one myself, they're the absolute best quality. ATers who haven't tried them will thank you for going this way later.

On their Sales page:

Bulk, OEM and Promotional Options
While designing the sUrface1030 special attention was given to providing a variety of custom options for OEM partners and for organizations that wished to use the product for branding purposes. Custom orders are currently available in quantities of 500+ units.

- High quality UV treated printing options available on both sides of the surface component
- Rubber base customizable to include engraved company logo, name, web URL, slogan, etc?
- Color options available on both surface component and rubber base

Please send an email to sales@func.net for pricing and details.

its possible, if I can get a sample product from them to test it will make a difference, they seem to be quite expensive however.

I hope they'll be willing to give that a go. Otherwise I think that if many are going to go all the way and pay to replace our mousepads, we'd only get the best there is out there; and as a bonus we'll be promoting AnandTech.

As you can see I'm jazzed at the idea of being able to replace my shoddy mousepad on the other machine with another Surface 1030. Make it happen beotch!

personally I hope they go for it aswell, if they don't I will fall back on the ratpad as I have one, I know the quality and the prices already.

Maybe coffee mugs or some type of beer glass

I would keep an Anandtech frosty mug/glass in the freezer.

 

[RGN]

beer glass. Yeah, now your talking!!!!

 

[RossMAN]

Something that's feasible from a production and financial standpoint for you and AT to manufacture, something useful which we can actually use or admire and most importantly something CHEAP!

I'm hoping you can buy in bulk like 500 of whatever you're getting.

Solid color Polo t-shirts with a small AT logo/emblem, a URL and a one liner, $20 shipped

 

[chipburner]

The AT logo on the main sail of my boat (30ft. Neptune).... if the site help$$$ me with some electronics I need (GPS,Deep Finder..) LOL

 

[deftron]

Make T-Shirts that say


"I NEFFED at Anandtech and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"

Another vote for this shirt!!!

How about personalized shirts? Such as "datalink7@anantech"

Ok, maybe too geeky

 

[Squisher]

Definitely a baseball cap.

Then how about "I NEFFED at Anandtech and all I got was this lousy T-shirt (and banned )"

Maybe a beanie or a crusher hat for us "h0t stUntAz"?
*edit* Another vote for the 1030 surface mousepads as well.

 

[arcain]

How about something with the smilies? or avatars? A t-shirt or a mug? Or those Photon microlights (though I don't really need another one).

 

[narzy]

avatars and smilies are (c) E-zone Media, so thats out, but I like LED "Photon" lights

if your willing to pay for it, Im willing to do it, you have to understand tho, most printers charge a screen fee and a setup fee, and that can run anywhere from 50 to 200 bucks a pop. so custom names / screen prints will cost up the wazoo. there are ways around that of course, one is to find a printer that doesnt charge the setup fee's or get letter screens made (26 screens all centered correctly OYE!) a printer without the fee's normally won't do small orders, or isn't very good quality (not all there are some good ones out there but your again going to pay 30 for the shirt to get made + the markup. and you can't have (tm) or (c) logo's printed without permission on your own. most printers that I have run into have to have a signed letter of consent from the logo owner before they will even touch the project.)

 

[ed21x]

the background for anandtech has always been white... so i'd prefer the t-shirt to be white as well. keychains and case badges always sell well, but for these, the shipping costs pretty much displaces the item cost =\

other ideas:
anandtech mini lightsaber
playing cards
watches (high quality metallic)
ghetto-style windbreakers =P

Really? That sucks. A case badge/mouse pad/something with the shocked smilie would be GOD.
I wont be buying any apparel and not likely a mousepad, but a mug and case badge would suit me just fine. Things I'd actually use.

 

[NakaNaka]

I could use a DVD/Xbox/Ps2 Case/Holder. That would be sweet

Sweatpants and mouse pad are also very good ideas.

 

[ChurchOfSubgenius]

Bumper stickers, I would like to be able to recognize an AT member on the road, It doesn't have to be a huge:

"ANANDTECH! WHERE THE MEEK ARE INHERITING THE EARTH!!"
"ANANDTECH! WHERE IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU SMELL!"
"ANANDTECH! WE HAVE BIG SMARTNESS!"
"HARDFORUMS! HAVE YOU HUGGED A TROLL TODAY?"

It can be at simple as one of those round stickers with just AT on it.

 

[guyver01]

Personally... i'd like to see a T-SHIRT that looks like THIS
