Depends very much on the audience and what you can get. iPods are great, but personally I'd rather get pixelblocks. Any of the cube goodies off thinkgeek.com

Like Xbox 360 with golden face plate, 20" widescreen EIZO lcd or the truly best hardware at the moment pre-overclocked by some famous overclocking wiz... hmmph! I guess I'm trying to say that Uniqueness and "makes no true sense to buy" attitude is the thing. Actually the prize doesn't even need to be really expensive. And what comes to those iPods... it's not cool any more! Every second prizedraw has Ipod on its prize list. Anything that is no bulk stuff.

Like, winning a 2GB usb key would indeed be nice. I dont really need it, hence I'm not buying it myself, but having one would be useful and fun in some cases.

Thumbdrives are pretty cool, unless, you already have one, which many people do. Then there's stuff like iPod or iRiver. Personally, I'd like a decent GPS unit. How about a really nice laptop bag?

At the low end ($50 & under), gift certificates to NewEgg, Amazon, wherever work best. At the high end, an XBox 360, Mac Mini or Palm's LifeDrive Mobile Manager would be sweet.

Seems like portable apps are gaining a lot of traction these days. Although I just bought a new one, I think a 1-2GB thumbdrive is a nice thing for a geek.
