		<description><![CDATA[I spent a chunk of the weekend looking for a reasonably priced desktop PC to replace the eMachine T6420 that died last week (probably a system board level problem). I was all set to buy a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop for a bit over $500 until I saw the shipping cost. For some reason, Dell.com [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My eMachines T6420 died about 10 days ago. Looks like a system board problem and, quite frankly, not worth the cost and effort of replacing an out-of-warranty motherboard. So, I&#8217;m in the market for a low-cost desktop PC to replace it. Consumer Reports (Sept. 2008 issue) has a bunch of computer picks in various categories. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t really hear people referring to the mid-1990s as the good old days. But, if they did, this little bill from June 1995 might shock them out of that thought. I found it while cleaning up my home office. Yep, that is a $709 price tag for a 16MB (that&#8217;s MEGA-BYTES, not gigs) RAM [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s list price is US$24.95, but I bought it for $14.95 during the sale period. This mono single speaker is not going to challenge your whiz bang high speaker system for sound quality. But, [...]]]></description>
