the only way to go

I had KOSS headphones as a kid. They were alright.

I'm more of a fan of earbuds myself, the only time I use my headphones are when I'm mixing and mastering and most importantly, not outside

oh no if you use anything larger than porta pros outside you look like a giant hipster f****t,

I only use headphones while playing games or at work listening to music while programming. Never use them on the street... I hate hate hate ear buds... they hurt my ears.

I don't like ear buds either, which is why I own a pair of Porta-Pros. not only do they sound better than most earbuds, they are more comfortable. and they're still small enough that you don't look like a douche wearing them.

Agreed, I looked at a pair in the store, but they were pretty flimsy.

I got me a new awesome messenger bag for college :D

a charging dock for the wii remotes, but idk how to make it work. TT____TT
and a pink wii remote and a nun-chuck for it. :D

Decided to splurge a bit this Christmas. Just flushed 400.00 down the amazon toilet.

COD: Black ops for the father : )

I'm dropping some cash on an SSD during the after christmas sales

Haven't seen any good ones yet. :/

I saw a few good prices on a vertex 2 but ended up getting a new motherboard and ram instead.

upgrading to 4 GB DDR3 from 2 GB DDR2 and a nice new motherboard that overclocks better than my current $30 open box board.

xbox 360 slim with kinect + a shit ton of games

That's sweet. I remember my step up from 2GB. I was pretty happy with the increase in performance. Good bang for buck. everything just feels snappier.

well this is just on my second rig, my main one has had 4 GB for a few years now.

also I just bought a nice new 1 TB Spinpoint F3 last night

4GB is peanuts. I have 8GB in my laptop.

you've probably also got a steady job, I'm working for a really unstable upstart business right now and that doesn't always go so well.

I've still got another two banks open so I could fit another 8 GB in there no problem. obviously 4 GB sticks are expensive but I could do it. I'll have to work a little longer than the month between upgrades I've been doing lately though.

Excuses, excuses.

That's not your laptop. It's owned by RPI. Buy your own machine you wimp. Here's what I've got in mine:

OS: Windows 7 64-bit
CPU: Core 2 Dou E6550 2.3Ghz 1333FSB
RAM: 4GB DDR2 800
MOBO: ECS P45T-A
VIDEO: AMD HD 6970 2GB
PSU: 650w Antec
CASE: Antec 300
NIC: Bigfoot Killer NIC M1
HD: 80GB WD Velociraptor 10K RPM (Operating System), 1TB WD Green 7.2K RPM(Data/Games/Programs/MediaServer)


Extras: Corsair H-50 liquid cooling... :P

My CPU and RAM are 4 years old. This was originally an Dell Optiplex 380 with Windows XP. Just in case you're wondering, the Killer NIC really does work. There is a significant difference while playing MMOs and large scale FPS like Battlefield. I purchased it for 50.00 from someone on Craig's List. It was defective. I called the company, and they replaced it for the cost of shipping. I think my next purchase will be the Killer Nic 2100.

Sigh... I haven't worked at RPI since last May. (I have actually mentioned this in several replies to similar comments of yours.)

I don't pay attention. Sorry, what happened?

I got a job with a magazine in New York. I live in Brooklyn now. (And, FYI, I own my own laptop.)
