  Well, xmas is fast approaching now that we're almost in December, so what's on your list to santa?For xmas I'll be upgrading my PC, and at the end of it I'll have the following system:Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 90nm (Socket 939)Motherboard: Gigabyte K8NSC-939 nForce3 250GB (Socket 939) MotherboardRAM: Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2 Pro TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2GFX Card: XFX GeForce 6600GT 256MBHard Disk Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 NCQ 80GB ST380817AS SATA 8MB CacheDVD-RW/CD-RW Drive: Sony CRX320E 52x32x52x16 CDRW/DVD Combi Drive (Silver)PSU: Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 Power SupplyMonitor: Viewsonic VE710s 17" LCD Monitor - SilverCase: A-Top XBlade Deluxe SilverMouse: Razor Diamondback Plasma LEKeyboard: Saitek PZ30AU Eclipse Illuminated KeyboardHeadset: Trust Headset 751B 5.1 Headset 5.1 SurroundApart from that I've already got some skiwear for my holiday in January and I'll be getting some other random stuff too!   
  wow, kinda takes the surprise out of 'present'Dunno what i'm getting from anyone. I know my gf is getting a gorgeous jacket from me though   ;Quote:wow, kinda takes the surprise out of 'present'Quote:Apart from that I've already got some skiwear for my holiday in January and I'll be getting some other random stuff too!What jacket are you getting for your girlfriend?;  Dear Santa,I'd like my job back for christmas. Getting laid off a week before thanksgiving is not conducive to buying presents for others.Love,Krikkit   ;Quote:Original post by Undeadlnsanity[...]I'll be upgrading my PC[...]By upgrading, you don't perhaps mean "buying a whole new computer that is far better", do you? I'm looking for a very very inexpensive computer and I'm the best place to find such a thing is from somebody that is "upgrading" =-)As far as what I'm getting, people are begging me for gift ideas, because I'm difficult to buy for. So far, the only two things I've asked for (from my parents) are a new mattress (actually the one I have will be "redone") and a portable radio with a digital tuner (analog makes it very difficult to find the right freq, and even if you do, finding the max quality point is impossible). The problem is that I find very few things worth the money, and those that I think are worth it (such that I would be ok with anybody buying it) I can buy for myself.   ;  I'm hoping I'm pretty easy to buy for this year for the few people I'm exchanging gifts with.  My latest awesome Kung Fu movie collecting craze should help with this.  I could also use some shelves.Unfortunately I basically have no idea what to get anyone.If I could I'd give krikkit his job back, cause that just sucks.   ;Quote:Original post by Rixter[...]My latest awesome Kung Fu movie collecting craze should help with this.[...]You might think so, but the problem is that if you have a collection, people have to know what your collection lacks to help you add to it. That means they both need to know what you have and what the collection constists of.I don't know about your collection, but for my collection of Asimov books, the former is a problem because I have a lot of his books, and the latter is a problem because of course I have all the well-known and easy-to-find books =-) Then there are the short stories, which are grouped such that I usually have to buy a whole book to get one or two new stories.   ;Quote:Original post by ExtrariusQuote:Original post by Rixter[...]My latest awesome Kung Fu movie collecting craze should help with this.[...]You might think so, but the problem is that if you have a collection, people have to know what your collection lacks to help you add to it.

And I was probably going to make a list of ones I want anyway, and what's cool is most of these types of movies are only like 10 bucks :).That's actually one of the problems I have with my sister, she loves Steven King, but I have no idea what she owns or has already read :/.   ;  £25,000 would be good.  Pay off my student loan, credit cards and overdraft and might have a bit left over to pay my rent and bills.  Woo, being an adult is great!&lt/cynical&gt   ;  I'm dreaming of a red dwarf xmas.....   a fibble and an inquisitor headknocker.
