No, the closest thing you will get is one of those generic usb docking hubs (not usb to usb but usb to others).

Buy a USB hub, attach your peripherals to it? I have mine set up like that, so I can just plug in one plug and my keyboard, mouse, printer, camera, and external hard drive are all attached. Still have to attach the DVI cord to the DVI port also but it's not a big deal.

Your presense in this thread is worthy of a hand shake. A+. Repetition is one of the most effective methods of teaching.

I belive the 9400's or at least the M90 and maybe the new M1710 will have docking stations, but with 6 USB hubs and a DVI/SVGA port I don't belive you would need a dock, just get a wireless keyboard/mouse set and a LCD and you're set. But you're going to want a Nice LCD, because from my understanding and LCD that's <$350 isn't going to beat out the 1920x1200 resolution of the 9300 with True Life.

If you do get an external display don't leave the M170 lid closed while gaming, 'cuz the heat coming through the keyboard could damage your LCD.

I meant suggestions on a decent USB hub. Or are they all pretty much the same.

Belkin and Kesington is what Dell uses... and they're the 2 biggest names in USB accessories, so I'd say to start there.
