(Credit: James Martin/CNET News)As Thanksgiving approaches, we here at Crave are feeling grateful for a lot of things: family, friends, employment, good health. You know, the important stuff. But we're also feeling mighty thankful for our BlackBerrys, iPhones, giant flat-panel TVs, camera lenses, MP3 players, and reliable routers. What can we say? We're gearheads!
To mark this year's holiday, we've asked some of your favorite Crave contributors which gadget or aspect of technology they're most thankful for. It's going to be a two-part series (there are a lot of us here at Crave), so make sure to come back Friday.
Of course, we'd also love to know which gadget you're feeling most grateful for these days, so please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

I hate you.
First off, I'm thankful for my Infinity Sterling SS-2001 bookshelf speakers. These puppies were last new in 1996, but they can still belt out sound like no 5.25 inch woofer loudspeakers I've ever heard. Bowers-Wilkins doesn't hold a candle.
Secondly, my Diamond Radeon 4870. Call of Duty 4, 1680x1050 4x AA max graphics at 300 FPS? I love you.
Last, my Logitech G15 keyboard, original version. As dirty as it may be (I need to clean it badly...) it has served me with unwavering faith and excellent performance for years. Though I don't use all (or any) of the G keys, the screen is extremely useful, be it for clock, winamp, fraps, or ventrilo.
If you're looking for a more specific example though, I would say my Altec-Lansing 5.1 THX-certified Surround System. The system is perfectly balanced, and is powerful enough to knock dust loose from the ceiling. I have to keep my computer at 6% volume for normal use.

I still find it to be the most perfect player above all the new stuff out there.
