8GB Sandisk Micro SD for my BlackBerry: $20



Shark Season 2 off of iTunes US: $29



WD 320GB 7.2K drive for my MacBook: $89



HD dock for my 120GB drive: $30

Let me know if you have a Scorpio Black that clicks a lot. Scorpio Blacks don't get along too well with OS X's APM.. and they park their heads like every 5-10 seconds when they are idle. After like 3 days I had my new Scorpio Black up to like .. 4,000 load and unload cycles, and the drive is rated for 300,000.... at that rate it would have lasted me only 6 months or less.

I have heard some have the problem and some don't. In any case, if yours does, get HDAPM.. just search the threads on here for HDAPM. Scorpio Black Clicking or Clicking Hard Drive will also yield results. I searched this forum after I discovered the problem on mine.

Ended up taking it back and getting a Seagate Momentus 500GB 5400rpm. Just so it is quiet. If you have any questions pm me on here, or get a hold of me on my site, in my sig.

Finally got Snow Leopard and decided to give the Magic Mouse a go too. So far so good. Also realized that I didn't own any of the Bourne movies and found the trilogy for $20 so I picked it up. I forgot how awesome they are.

If you have compatible hardware it is quite simple.. My last motherboard (asus Commando) was quite a pain to get working with 10.5.x and would not work at all with snow leopard.

Here is a guide that explains every thing for compatible hardware.

all of my Western Digital drives have been like that, except for a 3.5" Caviar Blue. Samsung Spinpoints are good drives as well. I've used a 160GB model for about 2-3 years now and not one click. Cant say the same about my 320GB WD.

Aww man, seriously they have all been like that??? I know this is a bit off
topic, but do you know of any 7200rpm drives (2.5") that I could put in my
Mini that probably wouldn't click?

I am also really interested in getting a SSD. I just wish they would come
down a bit in price! =) I've seen the vids on Youtube... and wow.
I was thinking maybe getting a 128gig SSD, and using that as the boot
drive for my Mini.. and the Passport drive I have still for storage.
I really like having the 500gigs on my internal drive though ahaha.

Ahh weellll... Lets see what Apple does with the Mini this year. I will
probably just throw the ram in when it comes and call it good, and buy a
new Mini later in 2010. It's been a good little machine so far!

I got a car wax, a car wash sponge, and a wax applicator for my car. I like trying out new high quality waxes.

Do you have a Porter Cable buffer? Both my friend and pops swear by it. Haven't tried using one personally, though.

Check out Adam's Polishes. Best waxes I've used.

That board, plus compatible graphics card (IE: 9800GT) is so easy to put SL on you could do it blindfolded. The lifehacker 'no hack' guide, minus preparing a flash drive install, is literally about three steps.

mytouch 3g. not my favorite phone ever lol

 

[Teh Don Ditty]

^I played with one when it came out. It was slow (in terms of UI responsiveness). Definitely not one of the best Android phones out there.

mine is fast as hell. doesn't slow down more than my old iphone 2g did....

Bought these when EA put them on sale. First time I paid for a game. I haven't played Red Alert much yet, but I'm not too keen on the Sudoku. I like my little free sudoku app better. EA's has too many bells & whistles for a sudoku game.

Used a Best Buy christmas gift certificate and then a $20 reward zone gift certificate and got the Logitech X540 to complete my setup in my room. It got good reviews so i decided to pick it up for the sale price of $79.99 when it 'normally' goes for $109.99.
