What are you getting yourself for Christmas?

george langham · 23 Dec 2010 at 17:02

Well I've got al my friends n family there presents, When I get money as a gift for Christmas I always spend it on one thing, upgrading my PC some more.
I bet many of you do the same, so my question is this:
What are you buying for YOU this Christmas? and Would you like help choosing?

Nothing, everything is perfect so will keep the cash for something worthwhile.

A graphic card that will let me bench 2001SE to the max. (I hope)

One from me.

ATM I have http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3534#sp
Only one of the PCIs and PCI-E slots is full atm (the x16 slot, which contains my GFX card) I think it's time to rectify this.

I intend to do so with http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-116-LS&tool=3 a Wi-fi card as I'm too far away from router to wire it up and my current Wi-fi Dongle is VERY slow.
and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-049-CL A X-fi soundcard as the sound that came with GFX is a bit naff.

Selling my old Athlon X2 5000+ for a PII 550

Already got this for me:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-033-BQ

I would have gone for a Samsung P2450H but they have such small stands & I felt that I wouldn't have been happy with the touch screen controls. The other screen I liked (BX2450) had that chrome stand & that put me off buying it.

The user reviews on here convinced me to buy one.
