Yeah looks like dell has the inspiron 531 desktop for $250. That's exactly double the price. It's got windows XP on it, and an athlon 2650e whatever that is, but it runs at 1.6Ghz, also has a dvd burner. Compaq also has a desktop, the Presario CQ2009F for $280. Intel Atom 230 Processor, also...

Grr I just wrote up a nice suggestion post here and then accidentally hit the back button and it got erased :( I was saying that I think it's probably too much. A 7 year old computer that's big and bulky. You can't do much with it can you? You can surf the web ok maybe, but you might have...

Ah I forgot to mention that I live in an apartment complex. In fact it's the first time I've ever lived in one. I assume that if the postal person delivers a package of mine to the apartment office that they would call me or leave a note on my door. Well like I said before the plan tomorrow...

I did a little more digging and I did find this on the site, so maybe I've got a slight chance of getting my money back: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=13832211&qid=1240369356&sr=2-1

Alright, well I just recently bought a new cutter block and foil screen for my Braun electric razor. It cost about $20. Anyways, here's what happened. The seller shipped it with a delivery confirmation number through usps, and it says it was delivered on Saturday. So I go and check my...

I did music appreciation. You know you could also look into what your college allows you to CLEP. I'm sure there's something that would count as a fine arts credit. I mean, get your money back for your class and just spend $60 on a study book and test fee instead.

There's a little misinformation in this thread, through what I'm gonna say probably wont help the OP much. Anyways, alcohol laws vary by state. There is no federal law that outright bans alcohol for those under 21. It's all done with state laws. I live in Texas, and in Texas if you're under...

Hmm you didn't say if you have a wife or kids, but I guess you do. Anyways, live like a bum till you're 40, and then retire and go move some place that's cheap to live. Anywhere in South America, or the middle east, or southeast asia, or one of those little islands like Haiti.

My dad falls into the "Idiots who don't know wtf they're doing" category with hdtv setups. I remember a few years ago when he bought a nice 60 something inch DLP tv. I remember about a month later he went out and blew something like $300 or $400 on some kind of Monster brand power surge /...

Hmm well I did a little bit of searching last night, and I found this couponmom.com website. Basically most of the newspapers in the USA use the same two coupon books in their sunday papers. The Smart Source, and the Red Plum. Anyways that couponmom website takes all the coupons in those two...

Well, I've heard that the sunday editions of most newspapers come with lots of coupons in them that you can use to save a ton of money at places like the grocery store. So I went a bought a San Antonio Express paper this sunday for $2. The heading at the top of the paper read something like...

Well OP, I read through this thread and didn't see the best suggestions. I'd doubt your graphics card would be using noticeably more energy compared to any other card during normal desktop use. The only time it should really consume more energy is when the GPU has to process more intensive...

I never understood what the point is in buying a book when you can borrow them for free from a library. But bomber what if my library doesn't have the book I want? Well, most libraries offer some kind of bookshare program they do with other libraries, so you should be able to get your book...

I don't know who's idea it was at GS/EB to gut a new game and use it's case as a display case, but it's a really dumb one. I remember way back when I was a kid, me and my dad were at the store and we bought that Cybernator game for the SNES. Normally you bring the box up to the counter, and...

So far my worst horror story on Marketplace was as a buyer, and it really wasn't much horror at all. College just started and the professor didn't like what book we needed through the school's bookstore, so there was no opportunity to order the book before the semester started. So first day of...
