    Netgear SC101 Storage Center Network Attached LAN HDD Enclosure

    A NAS device will always beat a dedicated headless PC hands down in terms of total cost of ownership. You'll pay more than the price of the device in the difference in electricity in one year of usage versus the headless PC. Of course that may not matter for the living at home parasite crowd...

    Dell D420, 620, 820 clearance

    6 bottles of "Humbug!" wine $64.99 shipped

    Is this schtuff any good? Is it kosher? The interesting thing is that the wine is a blend of almost all reds, but there is 1% viognier. Viognier is a white wine si? Interesting. I love the fact that they say if you are drunk upon delivery of the items, you will not be able to receive...

    King Crab Legs $5.99/lb at Meijers

    That's how much they cost regularly in every Chinatown I've been to (LA, San Francisco, Oakland, New York, etc...). The price most Americans pay for seafood at retail grocery stores is atrocious. You can get LIVE dungeness crab for $1.99 a pound during crab season (normally $5-$6 a pound...

    ~Free~ Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert

    Carbo, If you had a real backbone, you would post some groups you listened to. That way others can arbitrarily diss you. Btw, just because it's older doesn't mean it's not good anymore you 30-second-ADD-prone-trend-hopping MTV-raised no individualism zombie. 80s and early 90s music...

    Viewsonic n1300 13" lcd tv $249 AR

    PolarNorth...get your head out of your a$$. Ever think that some people's homes and lifestyles are different from yours? Maybe the extra money spent on an lcd tv is worth it for the additional space and convenience for some people? For example, I've been looking for a small tv to mount in my...

    Black/blue illuminated keyboard $22.90 at Compgeeks

    Random trivia: Did you know the QWERTY keyboard layout that we all use was originally designed to SLOW typing speeds? This was back in the day of mechanical typewriters (think hit the key and a hammer comes up and punches the letter). People were typing too fast that the mechanisms got stuck...
