A Solid State Drive (SSD) upgrade gives you the most "bang for your buck" today. This drive comes with the software you need to transfer your old OS and files from your old drive, but you may need a USB to SATA adapter if your PC doesn't have an internal connection for a 2nd drive.

I originally bought the flat charging stand but returned it. It did not support fast charging, and I still had to pick it up to view notifications while it was charging on my nightstand.
This new angled tabletop version works perfectly for me, allowing me to see notifications without removing it from the charger (and possibly not replacing it in the right charging spot when I lay it back down).

 StarCraft II: Battle Chest - Mac, Windows
StarCraft II: Battle Chest - Mac, Windows
When the original StarCraft came out, you knew that you were meant for great things. It was your mission to battle your way across the galaxy and become a hero. Now you can bring back all of the glory of war with both StarCraft II games, Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm. If you get stuck on your mission for greatness, the included Brady Strategy Guide can help smooth your path. Get ready to enter the battle — you just might make it out alive.Explore the worlds of two thrilling RPGs with the StarCraft II: Battle Chest, which contains both StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Featuring a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will present a cast of new heroes and familiar faces in an edgy sci-fi story filled with adventure and intrigue. In addition, Blizzard will again offer exciting online play through Battle.net, the company's world-renowned gaming service, with several enhancements and new features that make StarCraft II an incredibly competitive and enjoyable real-time strategy experience. Then help Kerrigan fight her way through an expansive single-player campaign in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Travel to some of the most dangerous worlds of the Koprulu sector, including Char, where a rogue queen is gathering eggs laid by the former Queen of Blades to hatch as her own, and Kaldir, a frozen planet that will require Kerrigan to adapt to the withering cold as she tries to find out what happened to her lost brood. Unlock new roles and acquire new abilities as you progress through the campaign. Mutate your zerg species in between missions to create a better, faster and stronger Swarm and explore new multiplayer maps with new units as you try to lead the Swarm to ultimate victory. If you're unsure which route to take to clinch your victory, the included Brady Strategy Guide provides tips to help you on your mission. Plus, the Battle Chest contains a card pack key for Hearthstone, a guest pass key for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and a guest pass key for World of Warcraft.

I picked this up on sale for $10 for my son's birthday - now with my account and his account he can play with his friends over our network.
Not quite as good as the original, but the updated graphics and variations on abilities are great!

Easy to use and works great with iTunes media and the major streaming services, but the Roku has a much larger variety of services if you need it.
Also, still has a major bug that will not let you display FaceTime in landscape to a TV from an iPhone - only an iPad - and Apple has no intent to fix this.

 Insignia™ - 6' DVI-D-to-HDMI Cable
Insignia™ - 6' DVI-D-to-HDMI Cable
This 6' Insignia™ NS-PI06502 cable allows you to easily connect your PC or laptop with a DVI output to a high-definition monitor or projector with an HDMI input. The cable supports up to 1920 x 1200 monitor resolutions, so you can enjoy clear, detailed visuals.
 

I have a projector that has a DVI connect but my computer only has usb or HDMI

Will this work?
This cable will get the signal out of the computer via the HDMI port and into the DVI on the projector, but the DVI connection is ONLY video. You will also need a separate cable for the audio (probably a 1/8" headphone connector) - either to the tiny speaker in the projector or a real speaker system.
