St. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and as a result many guys and gals are struggeling to get their better half a V-Day gift. Well, Gadget Hoard is here to help the geek lovers out there get something that will surely knock their socks off (or maybe a more interesting piece of the wardrobe? ) So sit tight and listen up for Geek’s V-Day 101:

Gadget4All is always finding new and exciting things to sell. So of course they’ve come up with a few love-themed items for their catalog and up first is the USB Plasma Heart. One of the few USB devices in this compilation, the USB Plasma heart will set itself apart from any other gadget on his/her desk. Much like the USB plasma ball, the USB Plasma heart uses the low power current from USB and converts it to very high voltage which creates the lightning like bolts within the heart shaped plastic dome. Don’t have an available powered USB port or would like to use it without a computer? Not a problem! Just pick up an Eforcity USB Travel Adapter ($0.49) and plug it in anywhere! You can get the USB Plasma Heart at Gadget4All for $17.

More ideas after the jump!

Besides, the most dreaded part of a LAN is when the sun comes up and it’s time to pack all your gear, weary and crashed after a night full of frags and Monster.

SourcingMap is making portability easier with their portable accessories kit which includes many goodies and retractable cables for use at your next LAN.

Like everyone else in the world, I’ve moved on to emulators with all my favorite previously purchased ROMs at hand. Heck, if I could bring my NES with me where ever I go, I certainly would! But let’s get real here, that isn;t going to happen.

Finally, however, there is a hand held NES system for everyone to enjoy floating about the population. With the FC NES at my side, maybe I can finally leave my parents basement knowing my Duck Hunt is safely tucked away in my backpack !
