i need to spend some money
 
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.

save it or use it for travel. Another thought, buy a gift for your parents/family/sign other

Re: i need to spend some money
 
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.

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.

Re: i need to spend some money
 
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)

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 11-08-2005 06:45 AM

Re: i need to spend some money
 
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.

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.

Emmitt2222 11-08-2005 06:54 AM

Re: i need to spend some money
 
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 . 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.

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.

This is what you need.

Paintball guns and accessories

Talk your friends into getting some, then go shoot the crap out of each other. Just go out into the bush, or go to a paintball park nearby.

BTW, both the mouse and teh trackball are top of the line. If you get a UPS, APC is a good brand name. Which model you get is up to you. Then again you probably know all of this given your educational background.

actually, i don't have a UPS, and i don't know [censored] about them, except that i know i should have one. this one might be a winner.

also, what mouse? i only saw the trackball.

Re: i need to spend some money
 
What a ridiculous attitude to have! What's wrong with saving for rough times, either for yourself, your family, or your friends. Or give to charity if you really must part with it. But if you just HAVE TO buy something, get a guitar, and give my $20 to a worthy street musician.

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.
