$100 Dell gift card that expires at the end of the year! What do I buy?
« on: September 21, 2008, 02:59:33 PM »
I've already got a laptop (made a thread about it. Got an XPS 1210m for $50 woo).

My desktop is 4 years old or so, but still runs great. 3.6GHz P4 with 2GB of RAM and an x800XT. I don't do anything other than emulating old games, so I don't really need anything beefy.

I've got an mp3 player that I don't really use, so I don't need a new one.

So, hrm... What to buy, what to buy. Any suggestions?

Eh, my friend has been borrowing my 360 for a year. I don't play games.

Then use it to buy an X360 for your friend. Get your Christmas shopping done early.  :-*

External hd? Or put it towards a sexy monitor?

Keep the ideas coming. The gaming one is perhaps a bit more intriguing as I've been mulling over picking up a DS since launch but could never justify the price tag.

I'd also think about getting a PC in the $500 range or so. Couldn't hurt to have something new to tinker with, especially with me probably taking that new job.

Are there any regulations against this?

Put it towards a large monitor (24"-30").  I got a 26" Samsung this weekend in preperation of the new computer I ordered last week and even though it's currently running off my 5 year old Dell the thing looks balls out amazing.  It almost feels like a new system. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner.
