    I'm in a similar boat... Do I wait for the iMac to be updated in a couple months and buy one of those as my main rig or buy a ACD and build a hackintosh? I really like the slimmer design of the ACD and I want to do some gaming.

    Mid-2009 13in Macbook Pro SSD Upgrade

    I have a mid 2009 13inch MBP with the stock 160GB drive. I'm debating on upgrading the drive to a SATAII SSD drive this Christmas. I should note that I upgraded it to 4GB of memory the day I bought it. I'm very impressed with the performance increase by using SSD. Is my MBP worth upgrading?

    DLP vs LCD, General Questions

    About a year ago I purchased an Olevia 237v LCD HDTV and I love it but naturally, I want to get something bigger. I don't really care about thickness anymore if I can get a 65" 1080P DLP HDTV for substantially less than an LCD the same size. So far the only drawback I can find for buying...

    Win XP Pro Hang

    The reason I don't have AV installed is because I simply don't ever get viruses. And usually I reinstall XP every couple months. I guess I am more concerned with spyware and adware than viruses.
