    I was in Staples today looking for the $10 Targus laptop backpack (with no luck) when I saw a leather Buxton Kelly laptop bagdown from $110. The Staples website still lists it at the normal price, and there were 2 tags on it. One tag rang up at the $10.50, the other rang up at full price, but...

    PC resets if USB Mass storage device is inserted

    I'm having a little bit of a problem and was hoping that someone might have some advice for me. A few weeks ago Windows started playing the hardware inserted/hardware removed noises over and over. I removed my USB drive and it stopped, but then when I inserted the drive the PC rebooted. Now...

    Coolerguys have a PC Toys system Maxx multifunction bay for free with a $20 purchase with the use of a coupon code. This is the same as the Vantec nexus multifunction bay. Not a bad deal, especially if you needed some fans or something else. My apologies if this is a repost, I didn't see it...

    Wierd CPU utilization in WinXP with new motherboard

    I just replaced my shuttle nforce2 ultra 400 based AN35N-Ultra motherboard with an Asus nforce2 ultra 400 based A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. I did not re-install Windows, but I did have to activate it again. Everything seems to be working okay, except my CPU usage is acting a little strange in...

    bestbuy.com - no more free shipping

    I went to buy something at bestbuy.com this morning when I noticed that they no longer have free shipping. Sometimes the free shipping would make an overpriced item cheaper than buying it from a different store with reasonable prices so I would buy through bestbuy, but those days are gone. I...

    Cool? 25 4x DVD Memorex media, $30 at Meijer

    This seems like a decent deal...Meijer stores have 25 packs of 4X DVD+R and DVD-R for $30. Staples had them for $25 last week, but still seems like a decent price for not dealing with shipping, rebates, etc...plus you can return you soda cans for them (in MI anyway).

    YMMV: Belkin Nostromo n50 speedpad - $15 at Meijer

    My local Meijer has a few Belkin n560 speedpads on clearance for $15. I picked on up, and the East Lansing store has 2 more left. I don't know if this is specific to this store or if it's chainwide, so YMMV. If you're not sure what it is or if you're interested, here's an IGN Review and it...

    Question about CAS ratings vs amount of ram

    I currently have 256 megs of Corsair CAS 2.0 PC2700 in my system. I am going to add another stick of RAM, but I'm kind of torn as to which I should get. I can get another stick of 256 CAS 2.0 , or for an extra $30 get a 512 meg stick of Samsung CAS 2.5 PC2700. My big question is how much of...
