    I have 150 dollars.

    In the form of a dell giftcard.

    Here's my current specs:
    (Look to the left and click on specs)

    And For accessories, I have

    2 HannsG 19" Widescreen LCD's
    Razer Death Adder
    Logitech G11
    2 Zunes
    2.1 Altec Lansing speaker setup

    I"m thinking of buying a quality headset since my last one from newegg just broke (It cost 5 bucks, I dont' care if I had to buy one once a month, it worked good too )

    So yeah, 150, whatever you can find on dell.com. For performance upgrades, I have an XPS 420.

    GO GO GO!!!

        Take a look at these:



        for some reason they are hard to find on dells site because the name starts with 'alternative'.

        I was looking at getting these a couple weeks ago at dell for $99. now they are even cheaper. I think they say alternative to pc166 because they might be the 161's but come with the optional UUSB1 usb adapter which makes them the same as the 166's but just packaged differently.
        The only thing bad about them i read in reviews is some people have said the cord is kind of thin. other than that they have standard 3.5mm connects, or you can use them as USB by using the adapter.

          Hmm MSRP of 150 :) And it's only 77. Anything else to add to that? I'm thinking another 2 gigs of RAM since I only have 3. Then I can force dell to send me x64 vista.


          Can Crysis use all the ram I have? Because I've noticed like on PR, it lags to hell when I run it on medium even and I"m trying to fly.

            Anything over 3gb is a complete waste.

            You only need 4gb+ if your running some seriously powerful programs.

                      Hmm, Don't really need flash drive, but I guess my parents can use it. I should probably pick up a floppy drive though.

                          Not very many, but I've come across a few I have a floppy in my old computer, so I guess I don't need one.

                          Okay, I bought that headset posted above, and 2 gigs of ram for my parents (Who bought me this computer in the first place ) So I have 2.95 left. Any takers? :P
