OWC 4GB RAM Upgrade
 
Adding RAM to your MacBook isn’t the sexiest upgrade you can perform, but it will do more for your system than anything else on this list. Not only will Mac OS X just generally run faster overall, but you’ll also be able run more applications at once and just do things way quicker than you could ever do with Apple’s stock 2GB configuration.
 
The best deal we found (from a reliable store) for RAM was from Other World Computing. We picked up the maximum 4GB RAM upgrade to truly pimp our MacBook. We highly recommend OWC.

DELL ULTRASHARP 2408WFP
 
The quickest way for you to increase productivity is to add a second computer monitor. As hard as it is for us Apple fanboys to recommend it, the Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24-inch LCD is the top choice available for the MacBook’s WUXGA resolution (1920×1200). Not only is the 2408WFP cheaper than the 24-inch Apple Cinema Display, it also out performs it in almost every way. The 2408WFP has great color and contrast and a plethora of video connections that even allow for picture-in-picture TV watching right beside your spreadsheets.
 
Also, don’t forget the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter from Apple.

Since you’ll (hopefully) be spending most of your day running OS X, there’s no need to drop 300 bucks on Windows XP. The best deal we have found was this OEM version of Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP3 from NewEgg. It’s the same exact software, only without the big box (that you don’t need).

Logitech S220 2.1 Speaker System
 
The Logitech S-220 Speaker System contains several upgrades to its predecessor, the S-200 Speaker System. Unlike the S-200, the new S-220 encompasses increased usability with a newly styled control base to manage improved acoustics, volume and VoIP connectivity. Bass tuning by the end user is often permanent once a setting is established. With the end-user experience at the forefront of Logitech’s design strategy to minimize desk clutter the S-220 bass control is located directly on the subwoofer. This allows the end user to tune the speaker system with no concerns for any accidental control adjustments. Finally, the newly designed S-220 advantages improved acoustics for a smoother, rich experience to enjoy music, VoIP discussions or playing video games.
 
We purchased this desktop sound system a few months back and love it. Highly recommended. Plus, it comes at a cheap price.
