You are welcome

I am going to watch the final cut tonight or tomorrow.
All the rest arrived too.

Necrosis · Dec 22, 2008, 04:32 PM

I'll take the Winchester.

Rahazan · Dec 23, 2008, 08:46 PM

I upgraded my monitor

Got this Samsung syncmaster T220 22"

And I love it.

Tyrsonswood · Dec 23, 2008, 10:07 PM

Hey! I got a little Cirque touchpad at surplus $5... the dogs, kitties and birds got their favoite foods. Life's good. Merry Christmas every one!

Lowfat · Dec 24, 2008, 08:45 PM

Damn you Boxing Day! Just spend another $800+ on another RAID card, a UPS, and some other odds and ends

IvanV · Dec 24, 2008, 09:32 PM

Damn the inflation, I thought that $800+ woudl buy me a whole computer, and a decent one as well!

Nice that you can spoil yourself like that, you may call yourself Lowfat, but that's no diet PC.

Callandor · Dec 25, 2008, 01:15 AM

Been good for me, from family I got a new toolbox, Hip Holiday 3 CD gift set and lotsa candy

I also won a digital camera ( Casio EX-V7 ) at our staff Christmas party and now DH has given me an XFX baseball cap and key ring.

Dark Lord · Dec 25, 2008, 01:48 AM

picked up my presents to my self already. front end suspension rebuild kit and radiator seals for my vette. thinking i may pick up a logitech G11 or G15 keyboard now. my old MS keyboard is starting to have problems. they key shafts are worn out and binding.

BlueMak · Dec 25, 2008, 04:56 AM

I find my G15 the best PC keyboard I have used so far. Then again, my favourite keyboard of all time (and all computers) is the original Atari ST keyboard, so...

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Dec 25, 2008, 11:10 AM

little big planet, $500 and a new bitch (i think)

Dark Lord · Dec 25, 2008, 11:23 AM

picked up Dark Knight, Shoot em up, 250 bucks in cash, and a bunch of food this morning. not bad considering i didnt ask for anything.

Tyrsonswood · Dec 25, 2008, 05:09 PM

I got some of the things that were hanging in my Mothers window at the nursing home...... Have to find a good place here for them. I know, not a "typical" christmas gift, and nothing like you guys have listed, but in so many ways more meaningful.

Peace

Knight_Breed · Dec 25, 2008, 09:06 PM

I received mine Tuesday night .. Merry Christmas to me

Nice one.

OmegaRED · Dec 26, 2008, 10:19 AM

I went to FutureShop today for the Boxing Day sales and grabbed a 24 inch Samsung monitor (2443BW). I was expecting big but not BIG. Games look incredible now and there's not one bit of ghosting like some LCD's I've seen. It was on sale for $299CDN (best price I've ever seen was 329 and that was before shipping costs). No dead pixels either

I had to pull myself away from buying an Xbox360 bundle, it was a Pro bundle with 4 games (Halo3 and Stranglehold among them) for $260CDN. Awesome price but I need to buy computer hardware instead.

Good stuff

That is my next purchase and a great deal there I will have to watch Future Shop and Best Buy close in the New Year.

**MIG-31** · Dec 27, 2008, 07:45 AM

I just picked up a belated Xmas Prezzie for my self.... A X-FI (Fatal1ty Sponserd) XtremeGamer Sound card that originally retailed at £150 in the uk...Picked this up in the Clearence Sales for £40.

Tyrsonswood · Dec 27, 2008, 09:46 AM

I just bought myself some 1000uf capacitors to salvage my old P4 motherboards, they are still running but I don't like the looks of those caps..... these new ones will give me another 4-5 years out of those systems. So Yeah! Capacitors for christmas.

Does that count?

I also salvaged an AMD XP 2200+ Asus A7S333 system some guy left here as dead. Proper bios setup and it's solid. Took most of the night to download and install 72, Win2K updates...

That's after the SP4 upgrade and IE6 install.

So that's like 3 "new" systems for me....... A good haul I would say.

**Mousey** · Dec 27, 2008, 09:55 AM

Far Cry 2, Bioshock (Finally), C&C 3 Tiberium Wars (Finally), Crysis should be coming sooner or later (Finally).

Nice, a very well rounded assortment of gifts and experiences - bet your mom loved that with you too!

I got new Tennis Shoes! And an electronic egg. It tells time, temperature (!), date, alarm, timer (yes, it's an "egg" timer

) - and toggles through all the functions just by touching it on the top. A nifty gadget I must say.
