I have some cash laying around. I see no expenses coming up for a LONG time. I seriously need some suggestions of cool stuff to buy...

I don't NEED a hardcore audio system yet.
My computer isn't incredibly upgradeable, I'm planning on buying a laptop this summer. I have a Sony PCVL-640 Slimtop LCD right now.
I have a mini-disc player.
I have a portable CD player, and a shelf MP3-CD player.
I have a receiver with a pair of Bose 141s.
I have a Cassiopeia E-100.
I have an Olympus C-700UZ Digital Camera.
I have an HP Scanjet Scanner.

I live in a dorm room and i'm 17, so no strip clubs or anything.

milk, lots of guns, an apartment at the end of the hallway, and some orphan child if you can afford it.

I would suggest a $300 upgrade to your computer.

GEForce3 Ti500?
New Processor?
New Motherboard?

Something along those lines. :)

Put it in bank until you know what you need to buy or really want to buy.

Then change your name to 'leon' and talk with an accent.

You should invest yout $300.

save it to buy a digicam in a month or two, with some contributions to the principal :)

Or you can get a decent 2.1 mp with 6x optical zoom made by fuji, it's the 2800 for 300. I might get that for Christams. Me, I'd save it and then buy the Olympus 2100uz, which is ~500 with Image Stabilzation, 10x zoom

Go to the F/S forum and help bail out these "poor college kids" who somehow can afford $300 video cards to replace the ones that are barely six months old. Poor my butt...

You need a fern and a spray bottle, as well.

<< PUT IT IN THE BANK.

Nothing wrong with spending some, but when it doesn't have a use: SAVE IT!
