What is the best Minivan for a family with teenagers?
As a dad it was hard for me to be convinced that a minivan was cool, so it was even harder to convince my teenage daughter that it was cool. At the end of the day we went with the Honda Odyssey. It is going to cost you a little more, but I really think it was worth it. It had great crash test results and the gas milage is good. There is plenty of space for our growing family and so far it has been very reliable. It is smooth driving and very easy to drive in metro areas. All and all I can't find much to complain about. It does everything you would expect a minivan to do and it does it well.

Compter case/housing for my first home built PC under $150?
  Cooler Master Elite Mid Tower Case, RC-310-BWN1-GP (Blue)
If you are on a budget than this is a good route to go. There are not a lot of bells and whistles but it gets the job done. I wish they would have at least made it tool less and I wish that they had something in place for wire management. On the upside, you can't beat the price, it has a pretty cool side window, and there is plenty of room to work with. If you want to keep it simple, then you should give this one a shot.

Power Supply for my PC under $50?
  Cooler Master RS400-PSARJ3-US Elite 400W ATX +12V V2.31 SATA, PCI-E...
For the price this power supply has a lot going for it. It meets all requirements for the Intel standard ATX 12V V2.3. It has all the protection design you would expect.(OVP/OCP/OPP/SCP). I would consider this a good power supply for any mid/low level PC. I probably wouldn't buy it if you expect to run a really powerful graphics card, but it gets the job done on any standard equipment. The only thing I can find to complain about is there is no power-factor correction. It runs okay without it, it just would have been a nice feature to have. Overall this is a solid supply.

Best way to clean my guitars fret board?
  Dunlop System 65 Guitar Maintenance Kit
If you don't mind spending the money this is a good route to go. It is an all around cleaning kit and it has an especially good solution for your fret board. It has a good set of directions. I am surprised how much faster your can play on a clean board. I thought cleaning it would be a waste of time, but I couldn't have been more wrong. This kit makes cleaning your guitar worth it. I really can't think of anything to complain about. You should check it out.

Best Batting gloves for slow pitch softball under $25?
  Rawlings 1050 Workhorse Batting Gloves, Black, Large
I have these batting gloves. I really like them. I have larger hands so it was nice to finally find gloves that fit. They have good breathability and they seem pretty durable. I usually go though 2-3 pairs of gloves a season, but one pair of these has lasted me so far. They are worth checking out.

What's the best LED HDTV under $1500?
  Vizio XVT3D554SV
This right at the top of your price range, but in the long run I think you will be very pleased. I really like the built in Wifi, because it makes streaming Netflix really easy. I have actually cancelled my movie channel subscriptions because it is so easy to use Netflix. You really have to see the picture quality yourself to understand how good it is. The image is really clear and sharp. It is almost the same feel I got when I saw HD for the first time.

My only complaint is that the sound could be better. It isn't unusable, but I wouldn't mind for it to be a little. If you have a home theater system then you will be money. I bought a cheap one off Amazon and now I have the ultimate set up. A grown man shouldn't get this excited about a Tv, but you should defiantly check it out.

What is a similar game to Hitman Blood Money for xbox 360 under $75?
I know neither of these games are out yet, but they are worth noting. Metal Gear Solid Rising is making the move to Xbox 360 at the end of next year. It is a ways off, but you know that it is going to be awesome. Also Hitman 4 is coming out next year too. I am looking for some games to hold be over until then, but at least this gives us something to look forward to.

best 32 inch tv?
  Westinghouse LD-3255VX 32-Inch 720p LED HDTV, Black
I am giving my vote to the Westinghouse. I bought this TV for my basement. I put it right above my bar. Its primary purpose is football and basketball seasons. For the price it really gets the job done. I get a lot of compliments, so many that I actually bought another one, so my basement could support more viewing for more people. It is very slim, easy to setup, and the picture is crystal clear.

My only complaint is that the sound could be better. I ended up just installing a sound system in my basement, so I just run my TVs through it. All and all this is a good TV for the price. From a sports stand point it really gets the job done. I am so ready for college football to startup.

What is the best audio component receiver under $250?
  Sherwood RX-4105 2-Channel 100-Watt Stereo Receiver
I bought this mainly because the price was right. I wanted something that was inexpensive and easy to use. Once I received it I was pleasantly surprised at how good the quality is. It is a solid low end receiver. There is not a ton of bells and whistles, but if you are looking for good sound quality for a couple of components then I don't think you would be disappointed with this unit. I like to take it back and forth from the lake. This should give you an idea of how easy it is to hook up. I would buy it again.

What is the best shooting glasses for hunting under $100?
  Allen Company Adult Blade 4 Lens Style Combo Case (Clear, Red, Yell...
I use these for shooting as well as mowing/weed eating the lawn. The multiple lenses are easy to take on and off. I like to use the yellow ones for shooting and the blue ones for yard work. It is really nice because there is a rubber padding where the glasses touch your temples. This makes these glasses more comfortable then any other I have ever had. When I first bought these they pinched my nose, but I eventually broke them in. I am glad I gave these glasses a chance.

What is the best jet ski cover ?
  Deluxe PWC and Jet Ski Cover
This is a nice little cover. We bought two of them. One for our wave runner and the other for our jet ski. They work well for both of them. I wish the material was a little bit thicker, but it gets the job done. The best part is the ease of use. The elastic around the bottom makes putting it on in or out of the water very easy. I would buy this again.

What is the best soccer ball for my kids ?
  Adidas F50 X-Ite Soccer Ball, Macaw Green/Black/Radiant Pink, 5
I got this ball for my teenagers. It is regulation size and they really like the green color. They have a lot of fun with it in the back yard. I don't really play soccer, but it feels like a good ball when we kick it around. For the price I was a little worried that it would be a hard plastic. It actually isn't at all. It has a soft feel and seems to keep its air. I think this would be a good starter ball for any age group.

What is the best golf glove ?
  Callaway Golf Men's Warbird Glove (Right Handed, Medium/Large)
I have always been partial to Callaway. They always seem to put out quality products. This glove is no exception. It is super breathable and even more flexible. The added fabric around the knuckles prevents a lot of possible tears. Simply put this is a good glove that gets the job done. They usually come in three packs which is even better. One pack usually last me the whole season.

What is the best clippers for cutting, trimming, shaving mens hair?
  Wahl Professional 8110 5-star Series Balding Clipper
These work great for shaving my head, even if I let my hair grow out for a couple of weeks. These usually only take one pass though and I am back to looking good. You might have to touch up with a razor, but overall they get the job done. It is nice because I can just have my girlfriend do it and it saves me a $20 haircut every other week. The motor seems to be very powerful so there is no pulling out hair, even when you have thick hair like me. I am sure there are nicer clippers out there, but I don't think you will find anything that matches the price and the quality of these. They are worth a try.

What is the best home beer brew kit under $250?
  Mr. Beer Premium Gold Edition Home Brew Kit
Me and a couple of my buddies bought this to try to make our own beer. It worked well and it was really easy to follow the directions. The beer was okay. The directions only had us ferment the beer for two weeks. In the second batch we made we let it ferment for a month and it was a lot better. Simple put this is a great starter kit that will make you average beer. I am glad we purchased it because now we have a good measuring point for where we want our beer to be.

I am basically a weekend worrier. I like to go out and have fun, but I am not out to set any records. I wanted a new driver and after testing multiple I decided to go with the new Callaway. I can't believe how fast I am able to swing this club. It is very light, but at the same time it has enough weight to add distance to your drive. The only major drawback was the price. I didn't really want to spend that much money on one club, but at the end of the day I think it was worth it. It is defiantly worth a test the next time you go club shopping.

What is the best sand wedge in golf?
  Mizuno MP T10 Black Satin Wedge RH Steel 56.13
I am a bigger guy and I wanted some clubs that would make my golf game a little less embarrassing. I am not out to set any records, but golf is a lot funner when you are shooting well. My kids got me this 56 degree wedge for christmas. I think they just bought it because it was black(My Favorite Color), but it turned out to be a really good club. I like to use it up around the green. It is also a really good rescue club when I am just trying to get the ball back to the fair way. I think we have all been there huh? For a christmas present it gets the job done, and that is all I can ask.

What is the the best putter in golf?
  Titleist Scotty Cameron California Series Putters
If you ask around your home course you will quickly find that Scotty Cameron is hands down the best putter out there. I use the new California Del Mar and it is worth every penny. Yes they are extremely expensive(Literally the only downside). Some people pay less for their whole set of clubs, but a putter is something that can last you your entire golfing career. If you are going to make this kind of financial commitment, then make sure to take your time and find the one that works best for you. Once you find it get fitted professional. Im not going to sit here and tell you that owning a Scotty Cameron will automatically take strokes off your score, but you will not find a better putter. The weight distribution is perfect and the quality/design makes you feel confident just by setting up to the ball. There are a lot of good putters out there, but if you want the best then you will find it in the Scotty Cameron section

Luckily I didn't do anything too bad so I didn't have to pay the blackmail money(Haha). Great Night Great Ideas.

What is the best bow for bow hunting under $2000?
  BOWTECH 2007 GUARDIAN
I have been hunting since I was a kid and last year I upgraded to a Bowtech Guardian. This is my 6th bow and I have to say so far I am very pleased. It shoots very smoothly and was easy to setup/sight in. After only about an hour I was shooting very tight patterns. The real test came in the fall when I was in the woods. It was extremely quiet on the pull back, which in my opinion is one of the most important things when it comes to choosing your bow. If you have a noisy bow you might as well yell when the deer(Or whatever you are hunting) is within shooting range. The one thing that could be better is the let off. It isn't too bad, but I would hate to be in the draw position for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I will probably stick with this bow for a while.

What is the best case for the EVO shift under $25?
  OtterBox Commuter-Series Case for HTC EVO
Overall I really like this case. It has a very smooth and sleek design. The ports/buttons are all easy to access. It doesn't seem to be too bulky, although I carry mine in my front shirt pocket most of the time, so the size doesn't effect me too much. My only compliant is the bottom cover for the port. After only a few weeks it stretched and tore off. This doesn't really hurt the integrity of the protection offered by the case, but it does expose the port to dirt and dust. I just have to check it every now and then to make sure that it is clean before I plug it in. Other than that I would recommend this to anyone who want a solid cover for a decent price.

What is the best tool combo kit?
  Hitachi KC18DBL 4-Tool Lithium-Ion Combo Kit
This set has always done really well for me. In my opinion buying a combo kit is the way to go. Buying these tools individually will cost you a fortune. They seem to be very durable and the battery life is long lasting. I have had the opportunity to use other combo sets and I like these better. I feel they are defiantly comparable to anything the other market leaders have to offer.

What is the best nose/ear trimmer?
  Pansonic ER430 Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer
I do a lot of traveling on my motorcycle. Everything from weekend trips to cross country trips. My travel luggage space is very limited so I needed something cheap and compact. I don't have any complaints about the ER430. It comes with a case and a cap, and has always worked well for me. It has a good battery life, but like all trimmers the blades eventually dull down. This is okay because it was so inexpensive and lasted quite awhile. I plan to purchase another one very soon.

If you don't mind a little work and have the space for it I don't think you can beat the price or quality of this bench. I just want to note first that you do have to buy the lumber for it, but this is actually a good thing if you don't mind the work. You get a great starting point and then you can customize it to your specific needs. For example I designed mine to have pegboard instead of shelving on top. This allows me to hang all of my tools, which organizes them as well as makes them quickly accessible. I plan on purchasing another very soon. Hope this helps.

What is the best 46" TV for sports under $1000?
  Samsung LN46D550
I have had this TV for a couple of months now. I look forward to seeing how it looks once college football comes around. The NBA finals were fun to watch on it. Could almost see Lebron crying, haha just kidding. But seriously for the price you won't find much better and I was a little worried that it would be too small, but the picture quality makes you forget about the size and allows you to enjoy the game. I have never been disappointed in a Samsung.

  Dell Inspiron 14R 1181MRB 14-Inch Laptop (Mars Black)
I recently bought a Dell. This is my first Dell and I have had no problems so far. It has plenty of processing power for coding. I code in multiple software languages(C++, C#, Java) and I have not run into any problems. When I bought mine I was mostly concerned with the laptops ability to multitask. I like to listen to music or have a movie playing in the background. No complaints so far, great product for price and performance.

I am a bigger guy and I was having trouble finding something I could fit into for our annual Canadian fishing trip. I read some reviews on this bag and I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did. For those 14 days in Canada I now stay warm at night, but I also have something I can sleep on top of during the day when it is warm out. It is pretty bulky and sometimes tough to roll up, but it is worth it when you consider the quality of the bag as well as the size. It feels good to be able to fish on a good nights sleep.
