What should be on my Christmas wishlist?

[Fox5]

My parents keep bugging me about a Christmas wish list, but there's nothing I really want.
I could ask for an Xbox 360, but I don't really want one right now (too many hardware failures, not enough games, fans are too loud).

As far as a PC, I'm currently running an Athlon XP at 2.2ghz 220 fsb, 768MB ram, and a 6600GT. Still, don't want any individual upgrade parts, AGP is a dead end, and I don't really want a DDR platform as is when DDR2 prices appear to be so much cheaper, and the larger capacities of DDR2 in the future will be more important than the speed of DDR anyhow. Could get an X850XT or something, but it seems like a waste of money, not enough of a speed increase and too high a price for the performance.

Ask for the cash money? Or an I.O.U. That way you can decide later!

Wouldn't telling them what to get you do the same thing?

I live in a college dorm, no where to put it. And I already have a 19" L90D+ monitor and an adapter to display HDTV input on it.

Hmm, not really big into clothes shopping. Besides, I'm a college student, I have no fasion sense! (not true actually, but I have no desire to make myself presentable...actually maybe not such a bad idea, I do like nice clothes, jeans and tshirts get old)

projector? Logitech z5500s? Logitech mx1000? digital camera?

Ah, the dilemma of my Christmas, I already have like everything I want for now. Projector wouldn't work in the dorm, niether would the speaker system system, the mouse might work but I'm happy with my Logitech iFeel (though it is getting a bit beat up), a digital camera could be cool though.

How so? Deus Ex is the best game ever, and if he doesn't have it he should get it.

A bigger apartment/dorm so you can fit all the stuff that you should be asking for aka..all of the above

For people who have 'a lot,' my wife makes donations to charities in their names as gifts. Why don't you ask your parents to make a donation in your name and make that your present?

Hookers AND a donation. You'll balance out the karma that way.

 

[lrad50]

donate money to a worth cause if you don't want/need anything.

seriously.

That is a great idea. If you don't need/want anything, then do something to help a person who does. You could make this a great Christmas for a family or two.

Projectors totally work in dorm rooms if you set up the room right.
Speaker system... guess that depends on your school. Z-5500s wouldn't have really been anything special at my dorm.
