I’m looking at getting an Android phone and the two that are available to me in my price range are the LG Eve and the HTC Dream. Which is a better phone keeping in mind that I plan to not use my data package (data plans in Canada are horribly over priced) but I would like to take advantage of features like GPS, taking quick camera pics/videos, and to use as a PDA (my current PDA is a Nokia N800 and besides being a great PDA, it is too bulky to carry around everywhere).

On a side note, if someone knows where I can get either a Motorola Milestone (aka Droid), Nexus One, or N900 for under $300 CDN I would also appreciate it.

Hey all,
I have some stuff…..A lot of stuff. But, I dont know if i should sell it all, some of it, or just keep it. I have the 2 systems i really want…and I don’t really have much use for these and i paid a pretty penny for them all.
So, I am looking for advice! Gamestop will not take ANYTHING from this list… so that option is out. So, my other options are: ebay (which i have not had the best of luck with), BullMoose, craigslist…or wait and see if some gamers convention comes around town.
Here is a list of what i have, please leave comment about what you think i should do with it all. Do you think any of it will be work holding on to? Do you think the price of any of these will go up as time goes on? Just need a second opinion about where i should start and I would like to see what others have to say.

I got my computer from CyberPowerPC 2 years ago and ordered it with CPU liquid cooling, forgot which brand. Occasionally, the computer shuts down when playing games, but it’s been doing that more often now, even after half an hour of low-end games like Halo: Combat Evolved. I cleaned most of the dust off of the liquid pump and the video card fan, but the temps stay around the same. After just surfing the web for a few hours, RivaTuner shows my 8800GT temp at 53C at 70% fan RPM and Speedfan shows my CPU core temps around 40C. I notice that the transparent liquid cooling tubes are not completely full, with some air pockets. Is this normal? And I have a feeling that my computer is shutting down on me at just around 60C for my 8800GT or my CPU. Is there any way to increase the threshold?
