Just got me a Hauppauge WinTV USB Stick! It's sooooooooooooo much less fuss than a video capture card. ^_^

got me some laptop. Not the best but good enough to run most games and do some 3D modeling.

Bought myself a new Sony Bravia TV. I finally have money, so I wanted to do a bit of upgrading. My own Xbox 360 is next on the list.

Finally ordered parts for building a new computer! I'm ready to join the gaming master race, as people call it. :)

What are going to be the specs on this desktop you are building?

I didn't want to spend too much, as I plan on just upgrading later, but I pieced together a build that'll be good for a year until I upgrade it.

ANTEC case
Corsair 800W power supply
Phenom II X6 2.8ghz
4gb DDR3 RAM
ATI HD 5770
60gb SSD drive (OS)
1TB drive

I'd say in a year I'll upgrade the RAM and video card.

That is a nice setup. I am still milking my quad core, but been wanting an i7.

Thanks. I've always been an AMD guy, so I went that route, but I was heavily considering an i7 before I ordered my parts. My next build will probably be an Intel.

Got a new LG 20 inch LED monitor on Black Friday. Now I can edit and color correct HD footage with confidence. My old one was too washed out.

Epson EX5200 multimedia projector
80" pulldown screen
Bose CineMate GS Series II digital home theater speaker system

Not long now before I have my own, personal movie theater setup to screen Turtles Forever - Director's Cut on. :evilgrin: MWAHAHAHA!


Oh, yeah. I also bought a Bose Wave connect kit for my Wave system & iPode (spelled wrong on porpoise).

The last thing I ever got myself was a DSlite, and that was back in 2008.

If this counts, I actually got a DVD player a couple of weeks ago, to replace the one I had that eventually stopped working after eight years of use. The replacement I got is also the same model.

I, once again, upgraded my TV situation, it's becoming a terrible and extremely expensive habit. Got a 60" Sharp Aquos Quattron for the living room, brought the 52" Toshiba into the spare room/soon to be game room, took the 47" Samsung into the bedroom and took the 37" Dell monitor I was using as a TV in the bedroom into the spare room and hooked it up as a computer monitor.

Sh*t be bangin' on that front. I also got a new Sony SS setup, but I haven't had the time to configure it properly yet. Still shakes the picture frames on the walls, though.

I have been wanting to get some good speakers. How are the SS's? Other than it shaking the walls.

Honestly? Something with that kind of power is only necessary if you're able to crank it, but it's still awesome at lower levels, especially with the optional rear and side speakers.

Interesting. I have been needing a new setup, these crappy RCA surrounds I have is just not cutting it. Not sure the model as I got it at a reduced price and wasn't in original boxes. But the rear and side speakers don't really provide the surround experience I feel it should. Thanks for the information.

A used Nintendo DS lite, I think was my most recent. I'm lovin' it.

I bought an HTC Desire. Not that I needed a smartphone but I thought why the hell not.

I didn't buy this product, but my dad got me a Sony 3-D Blu-Ray player with Wi-Fi, and what I call "Blu-Ray Channels." I love it. Although when I get work, pay off my past debts, I like to invest in one of those 3D HDTVs. I like to get one of those really thin models that you'd find at Best Buy's Magnolia department. I mean I got my first 3D Blu-Ray movie (Resident Evil Afterlife) before New Years, but since I don't have an emitter for my 42" Plasma HDTV, I can't view it on my 3D Blu-Ray player.

So... You're saying it's all just a really expensive paperweight for now? O_o

I got a graphics tablet!!!!! It arrived in the mail today. I love it already.

Can't wait to see what you're able to do with it! I'm sure it will make your art skills even better!

Just got some amazing Sennheiser headphones. HD515s to be exact. They were 50 bucks but they have a range up to 26,000 which is pretty sweet. I got a pair for home and another for the road that was cheaper. My other ones broke because I kept using them at home. The chord was long and it would get wrapped around my chair and sometimes it would get yanked. Eventually the wire came out on the right ear.

Anyways great brand and the new phones are amazing. Some songs it's like hearing them for the first time.

Oh I remembered another electronic purchase since my Christmas Blu-Ray player. I had enough Sony credit points, and my headphones speakers died on me. I purchased some heavy studio headphones with my credit points, since I won't use those points for anything else. My purchase points were very close to not making the purchase. I made it by 4 Sony credit points.

The timing couldn't of been better. I got a new iPod for Christmas, I don't care for the in-the-ear phones, my last over-the-head set died on me on my way to Best Buy, and I won't build anymore credit points from keeping myself off credit, and those credit points will expire soon if I don't use them. The price was just right for the purchase. So I replaced my old headset with better ones and it didn't cost me anything.

PS: My Blu-Ray player is not an expensive paperweight, because I use it all the time. It's my computer that has become more paperweight than PC since last weekend when it did something unexplainable.

Bought a new 2TB hard drive and a new ASUS video card for the computer.

Triton Gaming Headset.


I'm loving it

A candy pink PS3 controller.
It's for my girlfriend. I swear!!! :P

And two wireless old school snes controls. :)

CycloTrainer for my TotalGym

Sweating is fun!

In more ways than one! :-p

• Pioneer BDR-206DBK 12x Internal Blu-ray Disc/DVD/CD Writer (Black)
• HP Desktop 3 TB USB 3.0/2.0 External Hard Drive
• HP USB 3.0 Drive (argosy) 2 TB

Anyone interested in buying a used Pioneer BDR-2203 internal Blu R/E DVD-R/RW CD-R/W w/ OEM or HP 2TB external hard drive should message me. :)

Just got a PS3! The main reason I got one is because I am a hardcore Sonic The Hedgehog fan and they are releasing the new game on that console. I think it will be worth it though!:tgrin:

Nintendo 3DS
Dragon Naturally Speaking 2011
Claymation Studio

Is the 3DS any good? I only played it once for about 5 seconds.

No idea. Hasn't come in yet. Bought pretty much entirely for access to the currently free download of GBA's Zelda Four Swords. It's the only Zelda game I've never been able to get to. Can't wait... :thyper:

I just bought the 3DS too, the Zelda one with Ocarina 3d included. I had no idea about the Four Swords free download, so that was a pleasant surprise. I haven't owned a handheld system since the Gameboy Advance, so I was in need of an upgrade. I think it was a well-spent $180.

I'm an iPhone repairman, and I just bought a new iPhone 4S 32 GB. I had one previously (bought it the day after it released), but I sold it to buy 21 iPhone 3G's from a local non-profit organization. Repaired, jailbroke and unlocked those, sold them all, bought an engagement ring, and now it was time to replace the 4S. With the new jailbreak that just came out less than two weeks ago for it, it is SO much more awesome now than ever!:tcool::tcool::tcool::tcool::tcool::tcool:

New case for the computer.
New cpu and board (the old one was starting to go).
New cell phone - LG Gossip Pro (LG-C660R).
2nd blu ray player for another room.

The Bose® Lifestyle® V-class® home entertainment system...

I'm fine with ramen every day for the next ten years. :P

bought a new tape deck/ boom box... was very hard to find :)

Totally jealous. That's a sweet setup.
