If your computer is placed against one wall so you can leech off your neighbor's WiFi, you might be a cheap geek.

1. Out of all the webcams on the market, I like the Logitech QuickCam Orbit the best. It's not small and it's not easy to carry, but it's perfect for desktop use. This oddly shaped cam has a long neck attachment (not shown) that puts the camera at eye level. As you move, the camera pans to follow your face. Throw in a Carl Zeiss lens, and you've got a perfect combination. Buy.com has it for $89.99 with free shipping.

2. Dell is celebrating its 25th anniversary (I know, 25 already, right?), and you get the savings. Take a look at the Inspiron 15, which has a starting price of $499 after $250 in instant savings. You can customize your purchase with whatever components you like.

3. Western Digital's My Book line of external hard drives is attractively designed and well-priced. I like them even better when I can get one at a great deal. Buy.com offers a 640GB My Book drive for $79.99, and that includes free shipping.
