£200 to spend for Christmas. What to get?

2StepSteve · 23 Dec 2010 at 02:52

A nice sum of money but what a cop out! I would much rather have a present on Christmas Day than be given a wad of cash.

This method is what most parents do when they are unsure what their teenage son/daughter wants for Christmas due to age gap and perhaps even not knowing them too well.

What is going on? :confused:

Spend it on taking another girl out to dinner. One who, you know, actually wants to put some effort in to being involved with you.

Save it. Theirs bound to be somit you really want sooner or later that costs a lot.

I was thinking similar but different.

A high class escort is usually about £200 an hour.

Apparently.

Maybe he asked for money?

Anyway, I'd say a watch. 200 quid will get you something pretty good and it will last forever. You could even ask her to get it engraved.....although it might be harder selling it once you've dumped her for being a lazy cow (joke!)

Not using it as a media server ATM but should be absolutely fine! I'm really surprised how quick it is! Some people on that Hot Deal site are running Amahi on it, so I doubt there's a problem with using it as one! Not seen anyone attempt to put OSX on it. Will be kinda difficult since it has an AMD processor.

Awesome thanks, I'm sorely tempted to get one.

I wonder what that could be.

You should, its an absolute bargain! I even loaded Team Fortress C onto it just to try it out

I think graphics scored 2.9 in W7 Performance, processor scored 3.9.

A lot of people are using it for this:

I've currently set mine up as a web server because I want to learn more about the humble LAMP stack. Currently running CentOS 5 and Apache on it.

Buy yourself some pc bits for £150-200 and buy her some nice lingerie.

1.) You get TEKNIKAL FINGS!!!11111
2.) She is really happy, horny and gives you extra special thanks
