Something neat/geeky to buy under $200

[ProchargeMe]

Okay so after rent, bills, etc is paid I have a little bit left over to spend on myself and I want something new that I can tinker with or play around with, but I don't know exactly what I'm looking for so I'm requesting the help of ATOT to give me something new and fun to do. I'm mostly looking for new tech or a new gizmo to tinker with, any suggestions are welcome!

I've heard Fleshlights are pretty fun to tinker with.

The dorkiest thing you can put your $ to is savings.

For fun? maybe a fancy quadcopter?

Somewhere on Amazon is a Lego or some other kind of robotics set for $175. Its freaking sweet but I can't find it today.

OOOOORRRRRRRRRRR

Get one of those quadcopters. They have them on Amazon and you can get a cool one for your price but if you order from DX.com, they have super bad ass ones in your price range. You can get one with audio and video!!!!

Hmm the quadcopter sounds cool, but idk what I'd do with it. If I ordered it from amazon would a drone send me my drone?

If I could mount that in my car so I can communicate with asshole drivers this would be so worth it

Get a hammer drill or a sawzall. You never knew so many things needed holes or cuts until you own one.

No because drones can only deliver small packages. It should have no trouble delivering the fleshlight you always wanted though.

Raspberry Pi.

I suggest this and use it to make a forum poster bot AI that harasses people on the internet. Until you get banned. Then you can blame it on the Pi in the sky AI. One wonders if your Pi AI guy from Fry's will get unbanned with that excuse...

Until they communicate right back...:twisted:

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Came to post this. Throw in an Arduino for good measure.

Check out vat19.com or thinkgeek.com. Plenty of cool geeky stuff there. And for a lot less than $200.

do you have a link to a GOOD explanation of arduino? I've heard way too much about them but have no idea how they work.
