Looking for an External Hard Drive?

  Looking for a brand new External Hard Drive that not only operates great, but impresses your friends, family, and coworkers (not to mention it looks great chillin' on your desk). It's a 500GB external hard drive dressed up inside a 1:18 scale Delorean. Working Flux Capacitor not included. Check it out here: 500 GB Delorean.

Website: mint.com

  Intuit is an amazing company. I absolutely love their services. I have used Turbo Tax in the past and I'm currently using Quickbooks to help manage x86computing. This particular website, however, is quite one of a kind. Mint.com is an online tool that will scan your online banking statements and simplify information for you. You get an overview of how much money came into your account, how much money came out of your account, how much money was spent on certain items, such as restaurants, grocery shopping, gas, bills, etc. You also have the opportunity to create and manage budgets, allowing you to visually see where you are currently on your budget and how much more of a certain budget you have to spent for a fiscal month. The other cool advantage is you can set goals. Set a goal and mint.com will tell you how much you must set aside each month to meet your goal.

  As an aside, mint.com lists your expenses for the month. One of the cooler features is that it even lists transactions that have not yet posted, giving you an almost complete idea of what your financial situation is. I say almost because there are some instances where even the bank is a little off (i.e. paying for gas at the pump or leaving a tip on the credit card).

  All in all it seems like a really decent website to manage finances, especially if you do the bulk of money managing online. And the best part about it? It's free! The price is right, the service is great, why not give it a try.

  You may be thinking to yourself, where did you come across such an amazing place like this? Well, believe it or not, PTC (paid to click) sites do come in handy once in a while. This website was sent to me in an email that I got paid to read. Granted, it was two cents, but that's ok. I was also offered one dollar I do believe to sign up for it. The check out amount is 30 bucks for this website, and I just made 1.02 off of mint.com. That's 3.4 percent. If you enjoyed the site and want to check it out, just click the link below for inboxdollars:


x86computing, why and how!

  As a service to all, and to those who enjoy the services of a simple IT company, I decided that I would start up a blog to talk about things IT based, such as cool and interesting websites, useful programs, interesting stories, almost anything. I want x86computing to be more than just a computer repair business, and I feel this is one way to do so. If you have anything you would like to share with me, the world, or whatnot, please feel free to email me at: x86computing@gmail.com

  In addition, for those people who find this blog intriguing, interesting, helpful, or otherwise useful, feel free to pass it along to anyone.

  And last but not least, x86computing needs funding. I've decided to create a few accounts online that pay you to do things online. I will have a separate blog set up for interesting sites that you can legitimately make money off of. However, here's my reference link for one of those sites. Please feel free to click it and log into and have some fun. A little bit of time per day can get you a little bit of cash per day. It's not much, but after a few weeks you could have an extra twenty or thirty bucks in your pocket, all from just clicking a few links.
