    A TV card? If you get one, get a decent one with hardware mpeg encoding/decoding for PVR goodness.

    How about some kick-ass speakers to go with the soundcard mentioned above? :)

    I assume you've got a decent monitor already.

    you have 2gig, no point buying anymore.

    Think about getting either a 74 or a 150 gig western dig raptor for windows and games


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,757 ✭✭✭8T8


    Yeah I'd go for a new 150GB Raptor as the primary drive and put the remaining drives in a mirrored RAID array for a bit of backup.

    Also maybe a new laser mouse from Logitech or Microsoft :D

    Here's something a little cheaper but essential

    On a more serious and perhaps boring note, you could get a Printer or Scanner.

    Get yourself a nice new Logitech G15 Keyboard(looks slick) and a G7 or MX518 Mouse to go with it.

    hmmm, cant think of anything for €200


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,757 ✭✭✭8T8


    Well if you want to waste some money GeekStuff4U sell some crazy Japanese gadgets, Sushi styled USB memory sticks, USB Christmas trees and USB tea/coffee heater pads.

    On a slightly more usefull note the Windows X360 controller could be handy for certain games if you dont have one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    What about games, anything you want in that department?

    Ye'd pick up 4 new releases or thereabouts :p

    Watercooling Rad, Resevoir, Pump, Tubing, CPU block, Fans etc.

    Watercool that beast and then start overclocking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 739 ✭✭✭riptide


    You might get one of those wooden keyboards and a mouse for €200. Classy!

    Or get a very swish external harddrive.

    a bicycle

    a hooker for one hour of wild sex - cos lets face it - with that rig you're a geek so the only pussy you'll be gettin comes in 1's and 0's.
