Seagate FreeAgent Pro External Hard Drive (750GB)

Seagate's excellent FreeAgent Pro is highly recommended to users with backup needs but are terrified by the concept of NAS drives. It doesn't hurt that it's a speedy little drive as well.

Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition (2TB)

Western Digital's My Book Mirror Edition is good value, and if the lack of transfer speed doesn't deter, then short of an NAS it's one of the better ways consumers can keep their data safe.

Belkin N+ Wireless Router

The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $189 or so price tag.

Lips

Lips' wireless mics and excellent song selection make for an evening's worth of entertainment, but it has little to offer solo players.

Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus (500GB)

The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus is a good choice for the average home user who wants a fast and simple to use external hard drive for backup and storage. Mac users will want to find a different restore utility to use with it.

Western Digital's My Passport Elite is a great little portable hard drive with an even better warranty to back it up.

The Asus VW223B is acceptable for its intended audience — those who need to add a second monitor cheaply, and are undemanding in its use.

Iomega Media Xporter 160GB

Iomega dresses the Media Xporter in a fancy casing and tries to pass it off as the ideal companion for your games console, but really, it's just an average external hard drive.
