Very nice...those 8800 cards are really good.  btw isn't 2x Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 a laptop processor???  I think you mean a Core 2 Duo E6x00.

I also spend about the same money in my PC I built last September...E6600 / Radeon X1900XT 512MB / 2GB RAM / Same monitor as you Viewsonic VX922. 

the same stuff today costs like 30% less...damn PC hardware market



crappy old school NES games are more entertaining than next-gen games.

Ehh what if i got a hdtv and stereo just becauce i got a PS3? PS3 Resistance COD3 Motorstorm Tekken Flow 2nd controller give or take $840



I was about to type nothing since I haven't purchased any of the new systems, but then I reminded myself that I already own a Wiimote since I got it on sale.  So it looks like this:

Wii

$35 for Wiimote

I've used it on my friend's Wii and it has my Mii in it.  Just need to get a Wii of my own.  (I'm still holding out for a black one and DVD playback.)



Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.

So far I've made a profit of about £1200 I preordered 14 Wiis last year, received 12 of them and sold 10 on Ebay.

I did have an Xbox360 but never even bought 1 game so I sold it and lost £30...but I do feeel guilty about selling an Xbox360 on Ebay knowing at any time the red ring of death can strike!!
