Hey guys,
Student Loan has come through and i feel like i need to spend it xD.
What to buy though????
I was thinking sound card and some Aego 2.1 Speakers :/
But yet i want surround sound but cant afford the logitech z5550 speakers :(
Or Do I buy another monitor and go dual screen with some nice turtle beaches or summit.

Any other suggestions appreciated

:)
 
I thought about that, but i hardly ever turn my PC off its always on sleep so it boots up in like 2 seconds. I could use it to boot up games but is it worth spendin tht sort of money so the game buts up abit quicker. I also hav my games running in the back ground so i never really close games tht im playin anyway

you shouldnt count how much you spend on boozing!

how a about a wheel, joystick or snazzy mouse keboard? no point in upgrading your rig, but something shiny on top of your desk could be nice?
 
Your rig doesn't need any more, I'd say get the whole Roccat desktop setup abbreviation thingummy, it's always nice to have everything matching, and then what's left you put towards a cheap sound card and a set of headphones?
 
Save it.

Its a loan not free money you will have to pay it back eventually and trust me it will hurt.

People need to learn to live within thier means better. I know as a student you can't do that and I know you also need 'me' money and I like to spend money on 'me' too but your going to have to grow up soon and understand that money aint free.

That was definately a 'monday morning, sat in work still with hangover' rant.

OP - You are a student once, enjoy it and spend it on what you want. You have 35 years of working to pay it off after! Dont put your £200 into a saving account. My 3k ISA collected a whopping £90 this year (of which I had to pay my bank £30 for going £5 overdrawn!)

and cold fusion - Student loans are currently interest free to reflect the interest rates at the moment

Actually with a student loan if you don't pay it back within a certain amount of time they write it off. :D

Though, that does mean you have to be earning under ~£15k for like 20 years but who cares about details!

I dont think they do. Well, they do but once you get to over 60 (or die) I have worked out that as I am currently paying off £11 a month, it will take me only 150 years to pay mine off! - Maybe 170 with future interest...
