    HOT! Amazon has Philips DVP642 for $63.94 - Free Ship

    i recently bought one of these. I enjoy it, except that after awhile it was saying "No Disc" when i was loading a DVD. I thought the DVD was bad because it was playing on my computer, so i tried a DVD that was working fine the day before and it was saying "No disc!" I thought i had a...

    USR 8054 100mbs "g" type router $29 @TigerDirect

    I bought one of these. I'm very impressed but there are some things i didn't like about it. First off, it's very feature rich. Which is a good/bad thing, but if anyone out there has no networking experience they'll be lost quickly. One thing that i didn't like about it is that they're not...

    VoIP phone line for $11.45 / month

    I think it's all about personal preference. My siter lives in poland and has vonage. Since she lives in poland, she needs more flexibility (better customer service, a number where i can call and be local, being able to call anyone in the US for free, etc) so vonage is obviously a better...

    5.25-In Aluminum UDMA/133 Silver LCD Mobile Rack for $32

    The real purpose of these is to equip them with an IDE Raid card that supports hot swapping of drives. That way if one of your hard drives fails, you can just eject the defective drive, install a new one, slide it back in and still keep your uptime.

    Cheap upgrade for el cheapo pc

    this is a big ymmv as some motherboards will not accept these type of adapters. If your motherboard supports it, it's a good deal. However, when you want to do an upgrade you also want to upgrade the memory too. And if it's an intel chipset (i810/i815) you're limited to 512 megs of ram, and...

    Belkin DSL/Cable Router/4-port Switch $9.99 no rebate

    I don't agree, i've had a lot of problems with belkin. For a long time i was recommending belkin for home networks as the price was right, and they seemed to work ok. Unfortunately, their quality is horrible. One of those wireless belkin routers had a defective access point out of the box, i...
