    Small Sub for Denon micro system?

    All, I recently picked up a Denon M31 micro system for the family room, and while the sound is great, I think it would be a little fuller with a small powered sub. Anyone have any ideas on smaller subs that are reasonably priced? Todd

    Wisdom of taking 401k loan to payoff HELOC?

    I was considering taking out a 401k loan to cover my HELOC. I have this HELOC as part of an 80/10/10 loan package I used to buy my ridiculously overpriced home here in Northern VA, just like everyone else is apparently doing.:D I know this seems like a REALLY stupid idea, but consider- 1.

    Amerisave Home Equity- any experience?

    I recently moved into a new home in the ridiculously overpriced NoVA area. As such, I ended up with an 80/10/10 mortgage, to get a place I actually felt like driving home to after a 12-hour day.:) In any case, the 10% HELOC that's pre-packaged has a crappy rate (as they usually do, so my...

    I think I'm being taken advantage of by my podiatrist! (LONG)

    Financially, that is. Here's the thing- I've had a Plantar's wart on the bottom of my foot for several years. Seemed to pick it up during the Sea Doo years (1997 or so). He tells me it's a skin viral infection. It didn't really bother me, didn't hurt, just unsightly, really. Over the last...

    How to load up some OLD games from hard drive?

    I recently felt like playing Wizardry (VII- Crusaders of the Dark Savant), and I figured I'd dump the two floppies onto the hard drive first. Well, I can't figure out how to load it this way. Even if I change the install drive, it looks for the floppies. Ideas? Todd

    Possible relo to northern VA. What are the costs?

    I'm considering a relocation/promotion at my job to northern VA- specifically the Manassas area (for example, I think there's a Micron semiconductor plant there.;) ). I'm curious to the costs. I should probably have a decent idea, as I'm from near Cumberland, MD, and lived in Norfolk for...

    Anyone here have a cordless mower?

    Now that I have my allergies under control, I've decided I don't like standing in the hydrocarbon cloud of my gas lawn mower. That, and it's getting old (11th season), and giving me carb trouble, and becoming a PITA to start. I'm sure I could fix it, but...;) So, I'm thinking of a cordless...

    Central AC Dehumidification ability

    What determines a central AC system's (heat pump, actually) dehumidification ability, during the cooling season? I'm guessing it's a function of the coil temperature (lower is better), coil surface area (more is better), and airflow speed across the coils (slower is better, or would there be...
