i need to spend some money

[stinkypete]

i want to buy some random [censored], but i already have everything i can think of that i want. so i need ideas.

if i buy anything based on a suggestion from this thread, i will send 10% of the cost of the item up to $20 to the poster that suggests it.

note: xbox 360 already on the list, that doesn't count.

also, baronzeus is offering the same.

[baronzeus]

same deal with me. im bored. figure something out for me and you get up to $20.

Do you have the 360 preordered and do you realize that when all is said and done after a few games and accessorries you are probably well over $500? I would think thats enough for awhile.

Here is a checklist of things I assume you have when you say you have everything, but if not look into them:
pimped out computer
complete home theatre
digital camera
digital camcorder
laptop if you have desktop [vise versa]
ipod video [in addition to other ipod]
dvd collection [there are some awesome box sets]
tivo/tv tuner
satellite radio
and a random non gadget one - really nice bedding such as a nice down comfortor and sweet sheets because a really comfortable bed is awesome

That's all I can think of for now.

[handsome]

1. A PSP for sure if you don't already have one. SNES emulators, movies (with a large memory card), mp3's, pictures (view only), pretty decent games (free if you know where to look)..
2. A WD Raptor hard drive if you don't already have one + a HDD cooler.
3. Nice cologne.
4. More socks. Can never get enough socks.

[pokergrader]

A few things that I find quite worth the money I spent for them in terms of usage:

1) A good home theatre system, either 5.1 or stereo depending on whether you watch DVDs and like the surround or you just want to crank your music nicely. And im not talking the [censored] you buy in best buy either, a decent system.
2) A nice massage chair (not the ijoy)
3) A high quality dartboard (there is no better game to play drunk then a nice game of darts)

[stinkypete]

[/ QUOTE ]

specifics please.

one thing i've been wanting to buy for a while is an awesome pillow or two, cuz the ones i have suck. i don't know which one to buy though.

we're getting somewhere here, this is good.

as for all that other stuff you mentioned, i either have it or don't want it.

[pokergrader]

This isn't so much an item but a service:

Go to a high quality massage parlor and get yourself a 5-pack of hour long massages over the course of a month.

[tonypaladino]

Clearly, you should buy a helper monkey.

He can get you beer and bring you a cup to pee in while you're multi-tabling.

i should have mentioned that i don't want anything huge. i have a pretty small place and i will likely be moving somewhere far away within the next year, so stuff like big tvs and huge massage chairs aren't what i'm looking for.

3) A high quality dartboard (there is no better game to play drunk then a nice game of darts)

not a bad idea... again, links would help.

I have one of these pillows. They are awesome.

Department stores have them for ~$30.

Linky. (http://www.therarc.com/FoamNew.htm)

[Emmitt2222]

Well, here's the thing, I don't know a ton about pillows or much else about bedding. I just know I like to lie in a comfortable bed. I know for pillows that two of the nicer options are down feather pillows or the foam memory ones. I don't have personal experience with either but I do like mushy pillows so nice down ones may be something to look into. Just as a starting point here are some pillows on overstock.com (http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=CATLIST&PRO_SUB_CAT=240&PRO_SSUB_CAT=1 914&cid=49018&fp=f) . Also, just based on hearsay, Egyption cotton sheets are supposedly really awesome. That's all I really got. Maybe talk to a girl who might know more about this sort of thing? Good luck.

http://www.dartboards.com/dart-boards/bristle-dart-boards/products.cfm?action=view&key=DM006

Its a great dartboard and it isn't expensive at all. It helps if you live with other people you could play against, but even throwing darts alone can be very relaxing.

Eh... I meant chair and trackball. The chair is a famous chair that is top of the line but most likely overkill. A lot of people love it though. Even astroglide likes it and he's seems like a frugile man to me. The trackball is a must have IMO. You are young but your wrists can go to [censored] very quickly especially give your field. I can't even use a mouse anymore. Carpal Tunnel is not fun.

As far as APC's go, buy it at a B&amp;M. Shipping lead acid batteries can get expensive. Then again if money isn't an option there is newegg.com. APC is a good name. Only hook up your computer, important monitors, and modem/router to the backup battery so your games aren't effected when playing.

Also:

You will see a power output (VA/Watt) The VA rating is important. Normally people have UPS's fitted to the power draw of your computer. So if you need more help you need to list the what all monitors and type of computer you have. Or you can just buy a big one and save the research.

get an archos gmini400

it has a 20gb hard drive and besides mp3s, it does divx, so u can watch any movie/tv show on it; there is also a free gamegear/sega master system emulator for it, so u can play any gamegear/master system game on it

it also has a compact flash slot so u can take the card out of ur camera and hit one button and boom it's stored on the gmini's hard drive so u can erase the card and keep shooting pics out in the field

u can also view jpgs on it, zoom in on them, etc

it's about $300, but much better than an ipod

in summary:
mp3 player
divx player
photo wallet
photo viewer
gamegear

My daughter selected studying the impact of exercise on heart rate. She will devise an easy activity that will elevate heart rate. The test subject's heart rate will take prior to the exercise and at timed intervals after the exercise. This will measure how long it takes for the heartbeat to return to normal. The results will be segregated by age/sex to see if there are any trends.

how do you use those things?

[rusellmj]

They're used to expand your urethra.

Yeah!

I think you need (if you don't have already):
1) awesome speakers (e.g., http://www.klipsch.com/product/index.aspx)
2) awesome headpohes (I am into IEMs, see http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...t=all&amp;vc=1) (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=4146390&amp;page=0&amp;fpart=all &amp;vc=1))
3) a bigger monitor

other things to consider,
- the watch idea, but I have no clue re: watches
- designer tuxedo/suits/formal wear
- build your own portfolio (only because I am a finance guy)
