Thinking of getting a wireless keyboard and mouse. Reason: I have two computers networked together and connected to the same monitor. Very cluttered with a wired keyboard and mouse on the same small table and they get tangled up regularly. Any recommendations as to brand/model of wireless keyboard and mouse to buy?

If you absolutely have to go wireless, I would go with the any decently priced Microsoft setup, such as this one.
In my experience, battery life is better on microsoft products than logitech. Myself, I prefer logitech mice and microsoft keyboards, so I wouldn't go the combo route. I would get a Logitech G7 mouse and a Microsoft wireless keyboard. Of course, all Microsoft Wireless keyboards that I can find come with mice, so there you are. It could be a backup to the G7.
Of course, your mileage may vary, and there are probably going to be a lot of MS haters saying "n00b!!1 M$ battrys last liek uh minut!"

I use one from logitech... I forget the model - I don't see it on their site; it's not an mx 300 I think it's a mx 700 or something; anyways it comes with the keyboard, an optical mouse, and a charging cradle for the mouse (instead of using AAs or something).
I've had it nearly 8 months without a problem, and I'm a constant gamer: cs:s, rtcw, wow, oblivion, etc. The 2 AAs in the keyboard have lasted more than 3 months at a time.
The distance isn't as great as I would've liked, but it can be used within like... 3-5' away - also, the cables from the base are pretty long so that's good.
