Dollar store surge protector. Time to upgrade

I can't stand Bell mobility or Bell Canada for that matter! Do me a favor and switch over to rogers. I don't like the idea of not being able to use a SIM card. (Great for imported phones) Isn't Bells network a little to dated?

Having my room air conditioned doesn't really effect my temps during the summer. My Antec 900 leaves my pc nice and cool even without the a/c.

Gah I still haven't beat mgs3. I think I should just skip it and buy MGS4. That and Soul Caliber 4.

Vista isn't a big step up from XP for basic computer users. Even for gamers DX10 isn't proving to be that great of a pull factor. I think Ill stick to XP for awhile longer.

I use 2 bladed disposable razors with the grain. I once tried shaving using baking soda instead of shaving cream and it left my face sore for days. Supposedly its good for oily skin as baking soda soaks up most of the oil. I go though 1 disposable a week on average.

Over 1TB including backup drives.

Something like this happened to me while playing StarCraft. Turned out that the CD was so scratched up that my drive couldn't read it. While trying to eject the disk it flew out of my drive and broke into little plastic shards. Had to replace the drive and buy myself another copy of StarCraft.

Ive seen an air freshener at the store called "smoke eater". I don't smoke so I have no idea if it works.

Iv heard bad things about these products. From what I know it uses a liquid plastic to fill in the scratch which dries up and leaves a residue that is noticeable while wearing them. I saw this on a TV show so don't go on my word alone.

Doesn't look too bad but I'd go with a Samsung or Benq 24". It is a TN panel I can tell you that.

Stick with the 2GB you have as you wont see much in performance with vista 32bit. You can always wait for the new windows 7 if you don't want to switch to 64 bit as of yet. (Not too many drivers for me)

PS2 being unscaled to 1080p didn't impress me much. Somehow I still like playing ps2 games on an old crt at 480i. (Too many jaggies when i upscale) I would say if you have a ps2 then there's no need to get a 60GB/80GB with B/C. Just my two cents.

I think this feature prevents known malware from being run in the first place. This should have no impact on speed and performance on your pc since it just blocks known problems from being run. Not too sure if i'm right

The only reason I picked up a PS3 was for the great new JRPGs that would show up on the console. As of now the 360 has almost all the JRPGs and upcoming exclusives (FFXIII) the PS3 lacks. 2 years and still waiting... Guess its time for me to get a 360. -_-

I agree $300 is too much. If it is out of warranty I say go buy a new one. Might save you from the dreaded RROD D:

Shouldn't matter if they are the same prescription but don't take my word on it. My Dad has around 4 different pairs of glasses and alternates occasionally. Distortion shouldn't be very noticeable for all I can say. (I have a pair of glasses and sunglasses with the same prescription) Guess its...

My friend bought a refurbished mac book pro awhile back. It had a few minor scratches but it worked like new. Since it has some warranty i would say it was a pretty good deal. Used doesn't always mean bad (like headphones)

I've heard great things about Kaspersky AV. All I can say is that I've tried it once and it messed up during installation. Had to use system restore to fix it I've been using Avira AntiVir and so far its been just as good as many known AV programs.

Currently watching Batman Begins... Can't wait to see The Dark Knight XD

lol i remember being so stupid to believe that rubing toothpaste or a banana followed my a squirt of window cleaner would help clear scratches from cds. Crazy people on youtube -_-

Lame Vii is lame. Why someone would want one is beyond me.

+1 for the Dyson. Man they can really suck... dirt I mean D: Tried an upright in the store and I was impressed but I don't have the money to afford one yet.

Depends on what you want to use the monitor for. I'd try to stay clear from monitors if you want to do gaming (360/PS3) or watching blu-ray since pc monitors don't really do them justice. But since your tight on cash I wouldn't stop you from picking one up although I do recommend getting a 24"...
