Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094 Notebook Intel Core Duo 1.6GHz, 512MB RAM Memory, 80GB 5400 RMP Hard Drive, 14.1 inch WXGA TFT Display, 8X DVD+/-RW Drive, Support Double Layer upto 8.5GB, CD/DVD launch and control buttons, Windows XP Media Center 2005 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i have bought 4 of these units and love them, great performance, not very much keyboard heating, light, great system
Toshiba's Satellite M series notebooks are designed for multimedia and the M115-S3094 is a low cost system with media specific features. The most notable of these is the ability for the system to be used for DVD or CD playback without requiring the OS to be running. About the only really multimedia feature missing is a TV tuner.
Powering the M115-S3094 is the Intel Core Duo T2050 processor. While this is one of the lowest dual core models currently available, it still is a step up from the older single core Pentium M processors. It comes with 512MB of PC2-4200 DDR2 memory which is standard for a budget oriented system but won't run as smoothly as one with a full gigabyte.
Storage is also fairly average for a budget notebook system. The 80GB hard drive provides plenty of space for most users needs although don't expect to put too many digital video files or else you might fill it up quickly. A dual layer DVD burner is also available for playback or recording or music, movie or data CDs and DVDs.
While most companies are moving to the larger 15.4" wide screen LCDs, Toshiba uses a smaller 14.1" screen. This provides plenty of space for viewing without making the system to large. It also uses a TruBrite screen for better video playback.
Probably the best thing about the Satellite M115-S3094 though is the price. The price is quite reasonable for the amount of features provided

Kensington 62635F SmartSockets Portable Surge Protector with Built In Phone Line Splitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Years ago you could buy cheap, stand-alone surge protectors for your modem. Those days are long gone and now they try to get you to buy expense equipment that *includes* the surge suppressor. I've blown out a lot of suppressors over the years and that is all I want, in the cheapest package possible.
While I don't need the AC filter features that this unit offers, this *is* the cheapest thing that fulfills my needs. Buy several at one time to reduce the shipping costs per unit and these units are a steal.

NETGEAR XE102 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tested these between the two units in a duplex apartment building. Each apartment has its own electrical meter and main panel, although they share the same 240Volt service from the street. Result: Works great! The speeds varied slightly depending on the outlets into which these were plugged, but were always much faster than my 3 Mb/s cable modem connection, and were also consistently faster than 802.11b wireless. Supposedly, the connection quality is not limited by distance, and the signal travels just fine across circuit breakers, fuses, and even between the two 120V legs of a 240V service connection, as I confirmed. In a big building, or one with many obstructions, wireless is a hit-or-miss solution, whereas this seems to be rock-solid.

Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with 4' Cord Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This surge protector is compact and comes with only a 4' cord, which makes it handy for me to use in the kitchen (I don't need or want a long cord, and keep the cord coiled up). This protects my coffee maker, toaster oven, and can opener. It stays flush against the wall in back of these items and out of sight.
Note: This unit does not have an on/off signal light. However, the bottom of the unit does have an on/off switch--which I did not know about when the unit arrived. Since the unit ships with the switch in the off position, at first I thought the unit was defective when nothing went on until I discovered the on/off switch (another reviewer had the same experience). Make sure you turn the switch to the on position. You won't see any signal light, but whatever you plug into the unit should come on.
This is an inexpensive but well made surge protector suitable for relatively inexpensive small items. I would not trust my computer, television or stereo system on this. But for my kitchen appliances it is great.

RCA DCM425 - Cable modem - external - USB / Ethernet - 38 Mbps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace the modem I was paying Comcast $60 a year to lease. It's the same model. Works fine and came right on time. Easy to set up. Remember, you probably need to call your internet provider and give them the S/N for the new modem.

Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work in the IT industry, so every time people move offices they come to me for a power strip. I buy these power strips regularly because:
1. They have seemed to protect adequately for surges
2. They are very compact
3. They are cheap!!!!
4. The big one-- the power switch is on the side where the power cable exits the strip. This has a big advantage.
You'd be amazed how many times people, cleaning crews or others accidentally flip the power switch on a power strip that may be under the edge of a desk or in an area that can get bumped but isn't easily seen. That also causes problems because people don't understand why their stuff isn't working. Having the switch on the side dramatically reduces the frequency with which I get calls because "stuff stopped working"... No one ever expects the simple answer and always assume a device has gone bad, etc.
The color fits in with your average office creme color, and unless you are going to get a power squid or UPS I wouldn't spend more on a power strip than the cost of this.
