ok, so I've been dreaming of getting my first computer and being able to work on my speed and all, not to mention to track my miles and all.

So I picked up a Trek Incite 8i today (wireless) and failed to get it hooked up properly thus far.
But I did notice that the brackets and all that come with it seem to be pretty crappy (read: cheap plastic screws, etc)

So I've read alot about lights, but what about computers. What's the best bang for our buck?
I want the typical stuff I suppose. One feature I sorta liked was the 9i had a temperature reading on it. It gets hot here, so I just thought that would be "neat".

Cheap and reliable. I use one on my flat bar and just ordered a second for my drop bar.
