Dear Santa...

Festive greetings - and a festive question.

My current rig is a P5B Deluxe WiFI mobo, E6600 processor, 8800GTS 640 o/c,2gb OCZ RAM, 500GB Samsung HD, 250GB Seagate HD, 1 x DVD RW drive - all housed in a LianLi V2000b and watercooled by the Apex Ultra + kit (running XP SP2) - oh, and a Viewsonic 20" LCD

I need to put some items on my list for Father Christmas and wondered if anyone had any ideas what I could add to the above or replace?

I thought:

Quiter fans to cool the rad
LCD temp monitor for drive bay
Maybe replace certain bits of the Apex kit

I don't really want to ask Papa Noel for REALLY expensive stuff, so all items under £100 would be great.

So - if it is to be from that little list above, suggestions would be good, or even something I haven't thought about maybe?

Good suggestions both.....

I don't really have desk space for another monitor though, and when I said £100 i was thinking more of a few different items totalling this...

..that's not to say it has to be that way, tho....

what about my fan and temp monitor ideas? Can anyone recommend good ones for either of these?

And if I had to replace anything in my apex ultra setup, what would be the first thing you'd choose?

Some really good suggestions here - really tempted by the fluffy toy. Suppose I could get a second DVD drive to copy disc to disc...

I've looked into the vista / 4gb thing and it's something I'll definitely do sooner or later, but may be a tad too early at the moment. I think Home Premium would be the best as Ultimate seems to be not much more (that I'd use) for quite a bit of extra cost.

And the headphones ARE already on the list!!!!! Those Beyer DT770 80 ohm ones....
