Now that the 520 is here.. which is the King of consumer SSDs? *Poll*

There's a good review here which also extolls the performance virtues of the new 520.... plus of course, points out the five year warranty which is always worth considering (not sure what the Samsung warranty is, though?).

Online drive backup options?

Might be worth taking a look at Wuala by LaCie... there's a good review of it here where it scores highly (4/5). Sounds good but looking at the cost it might be a little pricier than Carbonite. However, the neat thing is you can try it out (1GB worth) for free just to see for yourself how good...

17" Sandy Bridge Notebook

I'd recommend Dell for reliability and build quality. Another model you might want to consider aside from the Inspiron is the Dell Vostro 3750, which gets a good write up in the linked review if you're interested in reading up more. The range starts under £400 if you're looking for bang for...

Need a cheap replacement for old card

If you wanted a really budget solution, you could try a Radeon HD 6450 for around $50... that would give you roughly the same performance as your old card, although it's hardly good for contemporary games (but then you must know that anyway! With light gaming presumably being pretty casual...

Lightweight wireless mouse

Maybe give the Swiftpoint laptop mouse a look - very compact indeed, and sounds quite groovy, but might not be for everyone by the sounds of it... and not for left-handers apparently according to this review.

Dungeon Siege III - Excitement?

I guess it could tide folks over a bit until D3, but really does look rather turgid.... still, no doubt some low-tech fun to be had. Maybe.

can you still play diablo 1?

Think you can still play online... found this fairly recent advice: "This is possible, battle.net works, however you need the latest update/patch from the Blizzard site... If you want to play with someone specific, you can connect to each other using your IP adress... if you want to play...

Cheapest SSD (20 GB+) with good performance?

What about the OCZ Agility 2 range seen that get some good write-ups, real nice fast drive (it wins an award in this review). The 40Gb model comes in at $115 at Newegg... might be worth paying that little bit more? Otherwise, you're looking at the OCZ Onyx OCZSSD2 32GB for $77, I think...

Best noise-canceling, comfortable, big-head friendly headset < $100

They don't seem to be available in the US.. didn't realise that. I would have thought you could have got Teufel to ship them for not too much extra, but it seems like they only ship within the EU :-/ Maybe check out Dud's recommendation!

Best noise-canceling, comfortable, big-head friendly headset < $100

Hey Bulldog, I'll try to help... the Teufel AC 9050 headphones get a good review here, winning an award. While they aren't noise cancelling, it does say that "while there's no noise-cancelling technology built-in, the snug fit does a fair job of eliminating background sounds." And definitely...
