I have some extra money although I know I should save it I always like buying new toys and wanted some feedback. :o Here are my choices:
1) B&W 604s3 speakers. link (http://www.bwspeakers.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.models/Label/Model%20DM604%20S3)
- pros: sweet sound for $$$
- cons: I\'ll end up wanting to spend more for an outboard amp + sacd/dvd-a player
2) Small workout station with punching bag. pics (http://www.wd-co.com/pictures/albums/1097030820/)
- pros: even more sex appeal & only $120
- cons: I fear it\'ll end up like other workout equipment I\'ve bought... dusty.
3) 6800GT
- pros: Half Life 2 enjoyment
- cons: Dropping $400 on a nerdy vid card
4) Repaint car/prostitute
- pros: black 96 maxima has a lot of scratches to be fixed
- cons: scratches are expected on a 9 yr old car, and winter\'s coming up
5) Save it for a rainy day.
6) Put it in the freezer.
Any input or :ghey: commentary? I primarily wish to learn which of these purchases will earn me some respect on PSX2C. And just fyi I don\'t have a GF ($_$) because I could never find condoms small enough.
-
5) save it for rainy days where you can do "Its raining men, hallelujah, its raining men. amen... I want to go out, I am going to let myself get absolutely soaking wet..."
:laughing:
-
hmm....the freezer would be your best choice for obvious reasons...

Buy some booze and a hooker - then put the rest in the bank. :)

SIRI just fell again because they released millions of new shares of stock. It is projected to be over 5 before the end of the year. You could gain about 300 bucks.
THey are also predicting that by 06 the stock will probably be over 10.

Well, I guess that depends on how much booze and how many hookers he wants. :)
Personally I would go for cheap beer and homeless people.
-
if you\'re a computer gamer, buy the 6800gt and save the rest. But if you\'re not a hardcore computer gamer I wouldn\'t go that route.
-
all I can say is Vegas and black if you win take the 1000 you won go out to Sheri\'s Ranch and bang the hell out of about 4 Hookers back to town get yourseld drunk and then the other 1000 into the bank
If you loose: well think of it this way you really get screwed either way.

6800 Ultra.
That\'s the only clear answer.
Well, that and City of Hereos.
:D

6800GT don\'t waste your cash on a ultra.

I agree to an extent. Depending on his setup the Ultra may suit him or may not. I will settle for the GT, as I can\'t justify the extra price for an Ultra.
-
The Ultra just isn\'t needed right now.. its just for benchmark whores.
-
mmm I think I\'ll spring for the GT and offset the cost by selling my 5900. thanks for the advice.
ps- Any huge difference between Elsa, eVGA, BFG, and Gigabyte?
-
Get the video card, then have a LAN party and have all your friends drool.
-
From my understanding the BFG has a great heatsink.
I am currently debating bewteen the BFG or the Chaintech.

If you had invested in sirius, you would right now have about 2200 bucks. Woohoo!!!!

Vid you are like a used car salesman when it comes to Sirius stock. ;)
I would buy the vid card and save the rest.

Nope you have to be 18. Get your mom to buy it for you.
-
THX, I\'d buy a golden shower.
Titan, your mom manages your money? Perhaps it\'s about time you do so yourself. ;)

It\'s going to be funny as hell when XM comes out with some stunning new feature or product, and buries Sirius.
Boo hoo... :( :laughing:
-
Put it in da butt.
-
buy gold. from me.
-
Buy hundreds of boxes of cheesy poofs...
-
give it to me...
-
go to a candy store and buy 20,000 peices of 5 cent candy. Maybe Bazooka bubble gum, that way, you would have to entire collection of comic strips!!!! :surprised
-
I wonder if he spent it yet..
The only time I ever dropped a grand on a toy for myself I walked away with a head unit, amp, and two twelve-inch subs. Everyone digs them, and it\'s still fun. Money well spent.

Especially when Sirius comes out with Video next year and XM can\'t do that.

You would now have a little over 3 grand.

I\'d agree with that. couple hundred more and youd be at the booze, hooker, and blow level but for that youll just have to stick with booze and a hooker

Tomorrow there may be something interesting going on with Ipod and sirius. Tremendous rumours floating. Not sure about tomorrow, but apparently you will be able to use new ipods as a sat tuner/ recorder.
Like the myfi that Elton John is pimping. Man that commercial is awful.
-
If the iPod and Sirius thing happens, maybe I\'ll pick it up.

Put that money towards the construction of your very own “masterbrium”
What’s a masterbrium I hear you ask…
Well its like a private Library, but in this case its filled with high class limited edition pornography.
The interior design should include dark Oak panel walls and a gold hook to hang your red smoking jacket on (this should be your attire while you browse your “articles”), and and lets not forget the plasma TV screen plus 5.1 sound system to watch your porn on.
-
I was in an IMAX theater not too long ago. It had a really big panoramic screen and state of the art sound system. One of the thoughts was \'this would be really good for porn\' :)

i just got a nice dell projector and have very tall and white walls

Never mind about your sexual exploits on home drunken naked partys …what about watching porno films on that nice Dell projector of yours ;).
