I have this $200 gift certificate for newegg I got for christmas and I'm really not sure what to do this it. I built a new pc back in may which I am still very much happy with. I was possibly thinking about getting a 2nd monitor. The one I have now is a samsung 226bw. I can't really think of something else that wouldn't be a total waste or just silly.

Thoughts?
 
You don't need anything, give it to me instead. I need a new video card, I bought this 8600 as a stop gap because I needed a new motherboard/cpu/ram and video card all at once and something more powerful just wasn't in the budget.

I would die without 2 monitors at work, but at home I think it's just a waste/silly.

I always want one when I do school work, but I will be graduating this semester so yes it might be silly at home. It's just burning a hole in my pocket 🙁
 
If you're not going to buy anything you actually need (or would buy anyway if you didn't have the gift certificate) then sell it on FS/T for ~$190 or so. People on here buy from Newegg all the time so it shouldn't be hard to find a buyer. Pocket the $190 or spend it on something else you need....

That's the smart thing to do....
