So pc hardware peoples what did you buy for xmas

Well? What did you buy for yourself? Or maybe even give away?

I totally buy stuff when I need it, so I don't really treat myself on Christmas. I just bought this :P It's smexy

And a 10$ keytronic usb keyboard.

And uh, I decorated my site for Christmas? Does that count? www.3dslice.net

I want to hear what you wasted money on :D (And if you didn't because of random economy kamikaze, sorry :( )

One of my gifts were a nice 1080pHD acer 23" moniter

HD5870 + waterblock. Intel X25M G2 80gb ssd. Best Xmas in a while, nice to finally have a decent job :). Actually got other people gifts this year too lol.

i bought myself an AMD Phenom 940, a GTX 275, and a card reader. overall id say a great christmas.

Bought myself a 23" Samsung monitor with tuner. I'll bolt my Revo to the back for streaming video and use it as a PC/TV in the bedroom.DJ_Lae

I'm going to get me one of these next week =)

I bought 1x 2GB DDR2 800 RAM to put in my mothers PC and formatted her HDD and put Windows 7 on it.

Also bought WD 250 GB my passport external HDD for my sister to put all of her music and videos on. Also installed 2GB of my old laptop memory on her laptop and upgraded her to Windows 7.

Yea I'm liking that Dirt 2 that came with the 5870. Used to have a cheap wheel years ago and I miss it. Reading reviews of the G27 talking about playing Dirt 2 makes me want one, along with a stand for it. Really be sweet in front of the 50" plasma.

I have to work hard for this stuff though, I'm on call 24/7 for the railroad if theres a problem in my territory. Been quiet so far tho *knock on wood*

Back in the day I had a wheel for my ps2, and for some reason it always felt more comfortable on my knee :S weird huh, I'd love to have that wheel/pedal/stick your getting, looks cool altho id probs just use automatic, so the stick i could just leave somewhere in the house lol, pedals and wheel is all ya need :)

Alot of games allow your car to be faster using the manual, and you also need to drift constantly in Dirt 2 so you need to be at high rpms in lower gears, don't know if the auto will compensate for that or shift up so your rpms are low.

Aye still mulling over what to get. Reached a point where needing to upgrade my PC is not needed for the current games out and that will be out within 2010.

I build my little brother (he just turned 14 on the 22nd) a new PC for his birthday/Christmas. Athlon II 240 2.8ghz, 4GB RAM, 9600gt 512mb, 320GB HDD, Win7 home premium 64-bit... Quite an upgrade from his P4/1GB RAM/6200 rig.

The difference between them 2 builds is like night and day, I bet he is very happy.

got myself a set of G Skill ram.

Sir, welcome to the world of the railway, some days are great other days really suck and being on call when nothing happens is great.;) (More time for gaming)

Anyway back on topic I bought myself a nice new 5850 and a Razer Salmosa
