I'd mostly like some new, nice clothes. Maybe a new controller for my XBOX and one of those fancy headsets. Or, maybe some Guitar Center gift cards, or, some Neumann microphones!

I can't think of anything I want. Maybe some clothes.

Wow. I'm officially old and boring.

I can't think of anything but I'm being bitched at to ask for something. I don't know what I want...

A bay window that needs the same size rough opening as my current large window in my living room (I'm really not in the mood to reframe an exterior wall in the middle of January in western NY.) Enough solid hardwood flooring to cover my living room, dining room, and office. The Cherry my wife picked out is nice; else the lighter oak.

Oh, and for someone to surprise me & put in a stairwell down to the basement, door, and bilco doors. I'm soooo not looking forward to that job.

Well guys it's that time of year again and I just wanted to know what y'all want for Christmas. I'll start with my own wish list:

An Athlon XP CPU
A Radeon x800 Graphics card. (I've wanted one of these since I was 9.)

dude, I've got both of these (x800 XL), (XP 64 3500+) hanging around in a box that I don't use.

I haven't been able to sell that system in more than a year, haha.

Well, It all started when I was nine years old and I noticed on my GameCube a little sticker that said "Graphics by ATI" so I looked up the company on google and I saw the (at the time) badass Radeon x800. Since then I have been obsessed with the latest technology and computer hardware.

but you still want the x800?

:hmm:

:awe:

I'm pretty happy with what i've got. I don't mind presents from my wife, but I dislike presents from pretty much anyone else. I hate getting "stuff" that I don't need and then feel compelled to hang on to because god forbid I throw away someones christmas present.

I'm going to have a bitch of a time figuring out what to put on my list for my family this year, it always turns into a few movies/cds/books and that's about all I can think of.

Yeah, I'm building an Athlon XP rig because I miss having a computer for myself. (The quad-core is shared with my family.) I bought a Mobo/CPU/RAM/Cooler/Misc set on ebay for $20 but the damned cooler broke the CPU after a re-mount. (The CPU came without the foam pads on it.) So now I need a PSU, CPU (2GHz+) and a nice graphics card. (I'd like an x800 but a GF6800 would be my second choice.)
