Talking My recent buying spree!

Well, over the last few days, ive bought quite a few new parts (Mostly cosmetic)

So, here they are:

1GB Corsair XMS2 675Mhz DDR2 (RMA'd for corrupt RAM)
New Black Sony Floppy Drive
2 X 12" UV Cathodes
IDE & FDD UV Blue Cables
Vantec UV Slot protectors
Akasa SATA UV Blue cable
2 x new switches for cathodes
Farcry
F.E.A.R

Still waiting for it all, most of it was bought from ebay.

TOTAL SPEND IN 2 DAYS:
£120 - £70 for RAM refund = £50!

Not bad!

Yeah, im going to get a 6800 GT or 7800 GT after ive paid off my computer debt (£80 to go lol)

EDIT:

Heres my "Plan" of stuff to get in the Future:

1. Logitech G5 & Saitek eclpise keyboard
2. Fan & Light Controller
3. 6800 GT or 7800 GT
4. Another GB of RAM
5. 2x 250GB in RAID0, 1x 74GB Raptor for Windows etc

EST Cost for all that (At todays prices) £460.

Hell, that would mean ive spent over £1300 on my rig!

After that..... Well, no plans yet, but maybe a Dual Core upgrade.

Yeah, im getting both. I had a laptop before this rig, so when I bought all the parts, i just got a £2.50 keyboard. Its crap. The spacebar falls off all the time, so I want something that looks good and performs well.

I should prolly get a few G15s since all keyboards coming out seem to be using the stupid home-pad layout and/or stupid functionkey layout ... *puke*
