    Johnny Walker Blue at Costco $160

    If this thread gets diverted into bourbons, I'm going to have to get involved. :) Bourbon and rye are my preferences these days, and you can still get high quality bottles of either kind for under $25. Even in Cambridge! Or in NH if you have a car, the state-run liqour store prices are...

    Western Digital RE2 WD5000YS

    I own an older 250gb RE disk, the WD2500SD. I've had bad data corruption problems on two occasions in the last 15 months, both times isolated to that disk (of four drives in my system). Both times, it had seemed to be working fine beforehand, but then at some reboot Windows would claim it...
