What Can I Get With All This Money?

Here's some (rare) good news from the IRS: The average 2010 tax refund as of March 4, 2011, was $3070. That's a few dollars less than last year's $3082, but still a generous sum. If you're one of the millions of taxpayers who've already received--or will soon get--a refund check from Uncle Sam, what will you do with your money?

Here are ten suggestions for tech enthusiasts. Each assumes that you'll get $3070 back from the IRS, but your refund may vary, of course. Shop wisely, as many stores out there are hungering for your refund money. Post-tax time is starting to look like Black Friday.

One more thing: The prices quoted here were accurate as of early April, but are subject to change.
