THE BIG "What cool tech stuff did you get for Christmas?" THREAD

[zgoku]

As for me, I got a 10GB apple iPOD (for windows of course) and I think this is the damn best thing since the invention of the wheel

Ok, not really, but it's the best mp3 player that I've ever played with. Software was a snap to install, and it's very easy to sync all your songs with music match. I'm listening to Nirvana on it right now. Already got 4 CDs on this thing, and it only used about 200mb. Awesome.

Also got super mario sunshine so I'll have to check that out sometime today

Peace, Merry Christmas and Happy holidays

Maybe we could get this a sticky for today or something? Just a thought

A coolermaster ATC-710 case, which I've had comp running in for a while but is "officially" bday & xmas... Ditto for 2400+ (from 1600+) upgrade from myself Case is damn heavy but like everything else about it and no intention to be moving it much anyway CPu upgrade almost completely unnecessary except for ut2k3, which somehow is even better

today opened up a camera, felt dissapointed for a sec seeing as I have a perfectly good one, but second glance saw it was a digtal one looks a pretty easy, decent & practical - always resented paying a bomb for prints when half my shots were utter crap anyway. Downside is i'll have to re-enable the hated USB oh well

Panasonic GD87/88 mobile phone (mine's the european one, so GD87). Kicks ass, just about the only tech thing I didn't have

Anyone know how to get an infra red link to PC with it (I don't have a card, so I can't do it at the moment, but I might get on in the future so I can link it). There's also a cable, anyone know if the cable or infra red would be better?

35/70 gig DLT7000 + tapes + Antec 1080awg case + XP2100 retail

 

[Don66]

A new 19in. monitor black to match the rest of my system

 

[Gretzky]

Just money heheh. 200 bucks

 

[Shagga]

You lucky lucky ppl. I got a Snapon Screwdriver with Tungsten Bit set!

 

[Bovinicus]

My girlfriend got me an Antec Tru 330 PSU in anticipation of the new HDD I am soon to order with the Christmas money I got. My other PSU was already being strained more than I like. 120GB of storage and 8MB buffer, here I come!

 

[Trevelyan]

I got $140, a mini-CD MP3 player (by Memorex), and some clothes and a clock.

 

[PlatinumGold]

You lucky lucky ppl. I got a Snapon Screwdriver with Tungsten Bit set!

that's pretty sweet. i'm not sure i can justify getting it for myself tho. i find i use Leatherman Wave for just about everything.

OH btw, i got myself an XP 2700+ for christmas.

 

[BentValve]

I got some cookies and fudge from my grandmother in AZ and some candy from a friend.

I guess I can consider my Sony G520P and the game server that is 65% complete my Christmas presents.

 

[Spikesoldier]

2 Pairs of Dockers Khakis, 2 Pairs of Nautica Khakis.

BUT

This is what I was supposed to get for Christmas but got it earlier:

Canon Powershot A40 with all of the Extras
Logitech Z560's

Though I did not recieve any money for Christmas, on the 23rd, a Tstorm fried my cable modem, Linksys Router, and 3 NIC's, for a total damage of $260.00, which my parents covered, so I guess that is a Christmas Present all by itself!

And with the money I had left over (from paycheck and Christmas bonus) I bought myself a Linksys 8 Port 10/100 Switch (for all those lans)

 

[BentValve]

Oh I almost forgot, I also just got a Sony DSC-S85 (4.1mp camera) and to go with it.. a Sony F1000 external flash , lens adapter and lenses and an extra 128mb memory stick.

 

[magomago]

I got nothing....


Many of you might say "but your computer that you bugged us endlessly with!" - I bought that b/c of the christmas prices and I had to pay with my own money...

My parents have never been into holidays...I think for my brithday they said something like "yeah, we put 20 bucks in your bank accnount"

hehehe,,,

 

[BarneyFife]

I just got some money which I consider the best present since you can buy whatever you want.

 

[slpaulson]

Cannon powershot a40.

[StevenF]

A Surfboard

 

[Tab]

I got a lovely Radeon 8500! I can run UT2k3 at 1024x768 32 with all details set to max with no lag at all. Its really stunning considering that I have a Celeron 850Mhz, 128Mb. I think'll buy some more ramm with my xmas money!

 

[RBlount]

ASUS A8N8X Deluxe Motherboard (and money to buy an XP2000+ and some DDR Memory)

For the new Home Theater I'm building, Klipsch Reference RF3-II, RC3-II, and RS3-II. I have some other Klipsch, but I'm creating a really nice 12x20 HT room above our garage. Should be pretty sweet when I'm done. But that was the big purchase.

Also got Splinter Cell (OMG What a freaking badass game) and a bunch of other misc junk (clothes, trinkets, DVD's)

We went to Chicago from the 20th - 23rd and did a lot of shopping on Michigan Ave. That's gotta be the best shopping in the world. I got a bunch of junk there too

 

[ahsumdude]

My excellent Wife got me a 65" Hitachi HDTV for Xmas.... Way cool I might add. Nothing short of incredibly amazing when playing XBOX games.

 

[hdeck]

new burner and a 100 gig harddrive.

 

[Derango]

Game Theater XP and Neverwinter Nights

Non computer related: A whole bunch of CDs, a couple shirts

With the money I got I'm getting myself a Everglide attack pad optical (my current sUrface 1030 has seen better days), and a mp3 player (haven't quite determined which one, but I'm leaning towards a expandable flash player, since I don't have enough money for a iPod

 

[reicherb]

Got an ASUS A7V8X and a LIAN LI PC-65.
