I bought 3 Belkin Mini chargers but I had to order 3 separately because if you put 3 in one order, it will only give you $9 off the total. Go figure. Can't beat this price with free shipment.

The 1T Iomega HD looks good at $99 also but I already bought a WD 1T My Book for $139 last week from Costco :(

Thanks. Doesn't Costco have a 30day satisfaction guarantee?

Oh, that's right. I have been so busy I havn't even open the box yet. The only thing that I am not sure is the quality of the Iomega as compare to the MyBook? The MyBook was on sale from $159 to $139 and the Iomega is from $140 to $100. The MyBook has USB2.0 Firewire and eSATA and I think the Iomega is only USB 2.0.

I just ordered a 1T Iomega drive for $99. I am going to return the $139 WD MyBook drive to Costco because I don't have any machine that support eSATA so that feature is useless for me. By the time I upgrade my machine, I will need another hard drive.

Rule of thumb for LCD panels. If it's cheap, it's most likely a TN panel and can't do 16.7 million colours (it'll use dithering). If it's not cheap then it's a higher-end panel like the S-IPS or H-IPS which can do 16.7 million colours. Refresh rates are higher on the TN panels which makes it ideal for gaming, though I really can't tell the difference on my S-IPS panel.

So depends what you want to use the LCD for.

If you want to do serious photo work on it and colour is critical, I'd avoid the TN panel LCDs. For everything else, the TN panel is fine. The ST2410 is also a TN-panel.

More info about the various panels <a href="http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php">here</a>.
