Can anyone recommend a tech-dork gift for under $100?
USB storage is out - he's already got several.

No iPod, so no need for accessories.

I was thinking a binary clock, but I'm afraid that's too uber-dorky.

Anyone have any recommendations?

3. Nearly impossible without knowing what exactly he has already.
I'm not sure what anyone would do with a binary clock, so I'm the wrong person to ask about that idea.

Your best bet is to find out what he has and get an accessory based on it. You're not going to find many home-runs that he doesn't already have for under $100, unfortunately.

One of those clocks that counts down the days, minutes, and seconds till we're rid of the chimp.

14. Is he a smoker?
I've got a car-style cigarette lighter attached to my PC (a bit like this one at thinkgeek). Invaluable for us cancer fiends.
