<div class="IPBDescription">Help me choose what i don't need!</div> Ok, i've decided it's about time i get some non-money together and not finance buying new components. So what i need to ask everyone is, what parts should i not buy?


My current budget is <b>$0</b>, please keep this in mind when finding components i don't need.

My current specs are the following:

Windows XP SP2
Logitech MX510
Photoshop
Soundblaster 4.1
WACOM Graphire Tablet
Creative Webcam USB
and finally:
Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 speakers

Please help, i can't for the life of me decide what i don't need!

    I'd suggest the newest X800 XT. A hefty price, but... !!
    Then also one of the brand new 21" LCD monitors. You could also go with a plasma one... They're classy.
    If you really want, you could buy a whole surround sound system. The one that's 8.1. Or something.

    I'll think of more...

    You really want to invest in a 16meg voodoo3 3000 PCI graphics card. Done me well for over 2 years.

    I'm sure you can pick them up from any garbage dump / friends house for free these days

    You could always be creative like me, I have a lucky 1 euro coin stuck to my monitor. I got it in spain a few years back and its got a cool picture on the back. Looks alot like <a href='http://www.galeon.com/allmusic/caratulas/i/InFlames-Clayman.jpg' target='_blank'>this</a> <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ooh, whine away. My CRT is pushing 15.


    Edit: No, that's not a joke. It actually still functions and has not caught on fire or done any of the things a 15 year old CRT does.

    perhaps a piece of discarded (and preferably smelly) cardboard to use as a mousepad?
