Everyone in my family is asking me for a birthday list. And im actually having trouble. I was going to get just all the parts to build a new computer, then i realized mine Dell is really all I need. I got 2GB of RAM and a new video card for Christmas, and it can play all the game i have on high.

Can anyone think of cool computer stuff that might be good to have. I was thinking a new monitor, since i have have old Dell 15" (dual view with my HDTV). But thats just one thing $300 (Only have room for 19" widescreen), where its to expensive for one person, and since its one thing, it cant be split (The beauty of .a new PC would be everyone could get me parts).

Can anyone think of anything? I really have nothing to ask for right now, so any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
 
I should have mentioned that. Two Christmases ago I got a Logitech LX710 keyboard/ mouse combo, which i really like. Thanks for the suggestions. Thats the type of suggestion I'm looking for.
 
sorry to say, but if you have all you need now, why get something just cuz its ur bday... Why not ask for gift cards so u can buy stuff when you will actually need it ?
 
get a new case and transfer everyting out of the dell case into the new one, so it doesn't look like a dell, that's a cheap but neat idea IMO
 
Will say, the PSU and Motherboard fit. Because honestly, if it does, then thats an awesome idea, because then when i do decide to get a new computer, ill have the case I want to use. (I really want the blue Centurion 5 case. Thats what i would get)

Click to expand...

It deff will fit. You screw it on to the case.
 
I have always read the motherboard and PSU on Dell's are different size or screw pattern or whatnot and therefore can not be moved to a non-dell case. (And also no normal motherbaords in a dell case) Was what i read wrong? Its a Dimension 4700. You probably need that.
 
new sound system? like a 5.1 or 7.1 set?
new sound card?
webcam?
if you transfer files over your network: a faster switch or something like that
gamepad(s), joystick, steering wheel?
 
hmm.. I was thinking about the webcam.

I have my computer connected to my 5.1 home theater system in my room. Just analog from the computer, but enough for me (only one digital input and its for my TV). What changed does a sound card make? I have now just integrated.

I might look into the other suggestions too.

THanks
 
Haha, trust me, Ive asked for those and there just too expensive and I have nowhere to ride them. I spend my fair share of time outside. All summer im at the pool or R/C plane flying field.
