Yeh I really love that Mionix Alioth Gaming mousemat. Thanks for the recommend on that one (in the mag).
Also +1 to the Sunbeam modding kit... I've had one of these for years now - very trusty!

samesies, i have an alioth. brilliant mat, couldnt ask for more.

i want jedi blanket.... NOW

My GF wanted a photo printer but was put off by the cost. theres a nice wee photo shop that does printing in bulk so large amount of photos at insanely cheep prices =) Gonna have to show her the 2.8p a photo. Writing pad thing would also be cool for her. Yay!!! Ive got next christmas sorted ;)

Apuri is finnish and translates roughly to a "helper". All of Roccat's devices have a finnish, often not-so-smart name.

I know exactly what I'm going to spend it one. A snowboard and bindings! Atomic Hatchet here I come

If I was sitting on a big pile of post-Christmas cash, I'd be upgrading my GPU. 9600GT just doesn't cut it any more, sadly. :(

want to get a hold of the kelvin

Depends on what res you are running... mine is running everything fine at 1680x1050. Handled Modern Warfare 2 with all settings maxed out apart from the one setting that has to be left on auto or the game crashes on the final stage and I'm currently playing DiRT 2 and having no issues with that either. Although I am looking to upgrade in the near-ish future, I will definately be waiting until nVidia release their new cards just so I know I get whats right for me and my £150 budget.

That multi-card reader you featured is excellent, great size too.

I spent some of my Christmas cash on some headphones I wanted though :o
Next buy will be a Motorola Milestone...

Mother got my wife a slanket thingie, me a 24inch hd monitor from Samsung, and my wife got my a swiss army knife, that has pc screw parts in it.

And lego.

Got a lot from your list there. :)

Interesting you mention purchasing Left 4 Dead 2 from Amazon, or any cheap online shop, as it makes the most sense. It's much cheaper, and you'll end up with exactly the same end result - L4D available to play (and re-download) via Steam.

If it's the same as I've found with Left 4 Dead (big if, as I've not tried it yet) you should be able to stick the DVD in and run the installer, which will fire up Steam where you pop your CD Key in. Once done, you probably won't ever need the DVD again, you can reinstall the game by downloading via Steam.

I've got a retail copy of L4D2 installed and associated with my Steam account, I presume it's the same as te first game.

Shattered Horizon = pointless
Trine is alot more fun and cheaper atm!

Got a slanket from eBay for less than a tenner! Also happen to have a Selphy CP720 which was bought a couple of years or so ago which offers great quality printing on 6x4, postcards and stickers, etc.

Need Lego though.

See the problem with this article is:

I have no cash. :(

I think people should go get a copy of Shatter.. what, oh, its on the first page?!

Well em er... do what they said!!!

ROFLMAO,

my thoughts exactly :D

it's okay though. I still got Torchlight for 5$

I think the XL boogie mouse pad is a better buy for the same money than the pad mentioned!

Guys, ever thought of saving? ;)

BURN HIM!!!!!!!!!!



I'm thinking of getting a new GPU

The links for the Roccat Apuri link to a WTF blanket.

Just realized that the multi tool comes with a FLASHLIGHT and not a butane TORCH (like the thing that burns things).

Still buying 5 or 6 of them!!

Yes because every multi-tool comes with a butane torch right?
XD

Heh, my mrs mad the mistake of buying me that very technic lego kit earlier this year.
It rekindled my love of lego and I've bought another 6 technic kits since then.
I also bought the collectors edition millenium falcon! :D
