I just recently moved and I'm really really close to a Costco. I've never been to one (but I've been to a Sam's Club) and I was wondering if it's worth it for a guy living in a one bedroom apartment. I need to hit up the grocery store once a week for little things then maybe once a month I'll...
I always wanted to get a nice telescope. I always found enjoyment in gazing into space ect. I'm looking into buying one but the price ranges are huge. any one have their opinion on what should be a minimum price I should pay for a decent one? Trying to avoid spending $2,000.
i've gone through so many ear buds over the years. I normally just get the cheap $10 ones at walmart (those gummy colorful ones). But now I'm officially tired of having them break in the middle of a run. Is there a good brand of ear buds/headphones good for working out that won't break after 2...
Can I use a system repair disk I made on one computer (using the "Create System Repair Disc" utility) to repair windows 7 on a different computer? I don't have a windows 7 disk and I need to repair a different system.

I was on my computer last night everything was working fine to sign of any problems. Then this morning I went to boot and it tells me it couldn't find the hard drive. I go into the bios and it's not detect any SATA connections (which only the HD).
I'm using a ASUS Maximus III Formula LGA...
Wondering what people play nowadays (Settlers of Catan, Magic the Gathering ect.) I see there's a lot of cool games out there but not sure which ones are popular. I'd like to find a good 2 player boardgame but I hate to spend $50 for a game that needs 5 people.
Years ago my brother and I were into comic books. It's been over 10 years since I've even read one. For some odd reason I have this urge to go and pick up some comic books just to see what's out there. Any recommendations? I'm really open to any superhero or story but I plan on at least picking...
I just moved into the big city and this is the firs time I've had the ability to buy really faster internet. (used to live in farmland) So I decided to jump on and get Time Warner's fastest internet that said I would get 15MB down and 758kb up. I was curious to see how fast my internet was so I...
I'm going to use AT&T and this is the first time I've ever used high-speed through DSL. I'm wondering do I have to get the DSL modem they offer? Or can I get a 3rd party modem that's cheaper? I know this is a noob question but I hate to have moved in my new apartment without any internet.

Thanks for any help!
My World of Warcraft account was hacked. This doesn't really bug me because I can get my stuff back.
What I'm worried about is that they hacked it twice in a single day. (I changed the password and they changed it again on me) I did a whole system scan for viruses and malware (I used...
I live out in the middle of nowhere, so getting the normal cable modem or DSL is not an option. We do have a Wifi internet provider where we can get high speed via a dish.
When we first got the internet it worked great just like and other kind of internet service (online games and Xbox live...
About 2 weeks ago I went to turn on my comupter, and nothing turned on but the case fan and its LED light. I sounded like it was struggling to get power but then all of a sudden it just booted up and was fine. I assumed my PSU is going bad and should get a new one. Now last night I went to turn...
I just got a second BFG Tech 8800GT OC to use for SLI. This is the first time I've used SLI. I enabled SLI and my computer sees both cards. I go and try Crysis Warhead with little to no improvement. I figured it was my processor bottle-necking my system. I tried the new Battlefield with max...
Mom divorced a little less than a year ago and he's been living with his parents since then. All I can think of is 2 CDs and a magazine. I'd like to get him something else nicer but I really have no idea. I was hoping for some random suggestions would trigger a good idea. My Ideal price range...
My friend came over with his XPS that's about 2 yrs old he said that his hard drive is making a clicking sound and the PC sometimes doesn't start up. When it does boot the HD clicks and takes forever to load. Sometimes a screen comes up saying you need to "reseat" the HD. So I googled it and...
I did a fresh install of Windows 7 and I just used the installer that I downloaded from the MS website. I picked a complete clean install (PC was getting cluttered). Everything installed fine but when I looked at my HD it only has like 100 out of 500gigs of free space Just like it was when I had...

I'm a swimmer and a decent runner but I have no bike so I can't do triathlons until i get one.
I'm currently unemployed so I can't spend anything over $1,000. What would be a good started tri bike? And what should I be looking for in one?
Thanks lot I'm a real noob at this.
My friends asked me to burn him a few CDs in WMA format. Apparently his car radio can't read MP3s. I was looking around for some converters but I really don't want to have to actually convert all this music to WMA. Is there a burning software that would burn MP3s on a CD in WMA format...
For my mother's birthday I want to get her a second monitor for her PC. However her PC only supports VGA and only has one port. So I'm trying to find a fairly cheap video card that would make it so she could run dual monitors. Hopefully less than $100. Any help would be great.
Thanks
EDIT...
My brother just mailed his taxes but didn't include his W2s. Would he be ok by just mailing them in a separate envelope?

Is there a decent calculator you prefer? I recently landed an accounting job and the calculator they gave me was horrible. I see managers and staff taking around different ones. Which are some pretty good models?
Well his car's (Pontiac Bonneville) gas tank fell apart at the dealership and the repair cost is not really going to be worth it. His nest bet is just getting a new car (and trust me he, he needs a new car).
He just landed his first full time job not too long ago so he's looking for a fairly...

Where I work there are times when I have to build files. Most of these files are from Excel workbooks. These workbooks have over 50 sheets within them. The problem I run into is when it comes time to print. Most (if not all) of the sheets do not fit on a single page. So the way they showed me...
I just got an accounting job in Cleveland. What would be an acceptable carrying bag I could use to carry in my personal items (GPS, Zune, Medication ect.)? I don't see too many people using brief cases anymore. What do you all use? I'll be taking the Bus most of the time so I need somewhere to...
The instructions in my Zalman cooler says for me to put paste on the bottom of the cooler AND on the processor. But any other guide I've read online never says anything about putting the paste on the coolers. Which way do I do it?

My core temps are currently;
