@Zoredache: perhaps you could maintain a inventory list of what you already have?

Thanks! (1) There won't be a TV in my place. Does it mean the things are useless? (2) How much do they cost in stores that sell them?

@Synetech: I am not using a proxy. But I am not sure if it has something to do with that I open about 200 tabs already.

Is the bus between northbridge and graphical card slot, called "high-speed graphical bus (AGP or PCI express)" an internal or expansion bus?

comment Meaning of “expansion bus” or “peripheral bus”
internal and external do refer to the computer case. Same Wikipedia link for peripherals "Usually, the word peripheral is used to refer to a device external to the computer case, but the devices located inside the computer case are also technically peripherals. Devices that exist outside the computer case are called external peripherals, or auxiliary components. Devices that are inside the case such as internal hard drives or CD-ROM drives are also peripherals in technical terms and are called internal peripherals, but may not be recognized as peripherals by laypeople."
