I am getting a hundred soon and I dont have any idea's on any cool gadgets to buy.. any idea's?
-
My ideas all cost more than a hundred(assuming dollars)
Me I'd get a whole lot of flash drives 16gb each. I use these for many things
-
a cat
-
sorry I can't. That is the gift that keeps on giving lol
edit: hmm... i wonder what att has for their prepaid phones up to a hundred.../me goes to check that out
man that would actually be near a last resort if i cant think of anything lol
-
an ocelot then
-
If you don't already have it, buy minecraft.

I already have it (someone gifted it to me)
-
I'd give it to ruler501 if I were you
</begging>
?There are some nice extensions for computers for less than $100 US
-
If you need more diskspace, an external harddrive (if you can find one for cheaper) or if you work on stuff, an USB flash drive, if you don't have any.
-
:( thing is I have a raid 1 setup for my main computer and a raid 1 for a backup and a 16 GB usb 3 flash drive and an 8 GB one to spare lol..
edit: guys im talking about computer gadgets.. sorry if that was kinda unclear :(
-
since I cant get games (I assume you mean video games) I would buy some more duel monster cards, I needs more.

Well after thinking a while.. and indecisive for a bit, I've decided to go for what I was going to go for first: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/5845
I actually was only going to get $75 but I figure'd i'd get some way to make the rest if i saw something i wanted. However, I can actually get that mouse if I send in my old one to logitech (via a pre-paid label :)) and I get a discount on a new item including a $20 discount on that mouse. Plus I can't stand my corded mouse any longer.. its just too short and i don't have enough slack like I should
-
You could but some stuff on thinkgeek.com. Always interesting.
-
what about an ocelot

Everything is cheap and has free shipping.
-
Are you sure you aren't a spam bot?
:p
-
who has the banhammer :P
lol
-
Free shipping?
-
Woah. That really sounded like a spambot.
Therefore, I have no other choice than to ban you...
J/k lol.
-
I'd save them, but that's cos I'm a saver :(
-
Sorry, I am just very supportive of dealextreme. (Click here for a virus)
They have everything dead cheap and have free shipping, which is hard to beat. Even better, you are sure not to have money stolen because you can use paypal on their site :D
There is a downside to all this however. It usually takes 1-4 weeks for shipping.
-
Everything in that post except for the mentioning of a downside sounds like a spambot.
I'll have to go through that site sometime to see what it has
-

Did you order stuff from here?
This site basically looks too good to be true.
-
I order all the time.
I caution you however that people that make ridiculously large orders tend to have problems.

I've ordered stuff from them and had it take 2-3 months before, so beware of that. It's mostly just low quality crap on their site, except for a few things.
Never buy their lighters.
-
...It's mostly just low quality crap on their site...
Really? I never had a problem with quality. Ok well.... I dropped my speaker from about 5 ft above the street, but I fixed it with a staple bent to fix connection between the battery and the thingy.
-
Unless you're buying like a PSP faceplate, it's mostly crap on there. The toys and stuff fall apart, the USB dongles have crappy drivers and fall apart, the lighter I had sprung a leak and spat out a flame for like 20 minutes.
I've never bought anything over maybe $20 on there, but I don't think I'd trust them.
It's cheap Chinese crap.
-
I want to get one of those lighters now turn it on outside and run for my life...
Netham and Hppybobjr's opinions seem very different. happybobjr what kind of products do you buy from there?
-
I have bought all sorts of things, but usually things with few components.
I have gotten screwdrivers (tri-wing FTW), Micro USB to USB converters (i think the term is transflash), 3D glasses, DS styli, Cases, my Acekard (no longer sold), Magnets (high quality stuff), general cords, a potable speaker, and just some more random crap :P
Most things are listed multiple times because there will be slight differences in them. look at the 3d glasses selection.
http://s.dealextreme.com/search/3d+glasses.html?category=1202&PageSize=60&sort=-ReviewCount
I always make sure to read all the reviews for all the different types, it can make a big difference.

Computer gadgets this is where I come in 8)
If you want a mouse then my tested suggestion would be the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105255&Tpk=microsoft%20sidewinder%20x8). I love this mouse because it is very easy to recharge and has many great features.
Other gadgets I would recommend is a power squid as those will come in handy if you have many peripherals on your computer.
The last thing I can think of is that yo should get a blu ray as not only do they allow you to play blu ray movies but also use blu ray discs as storage.

Graphics card

Audio card, 2 tube monitors.

THIS! Omg I bought a capture card from them and they gave me an ILLEGAL serial number for old software that was bundled w/ the device.. and the device wasn't even legit! I couldn't even use it for my 64 bit os!
Graphics card
I don't need it, I'm pretty much fine with my gtx 460.

I dont really watch a lot of movies tbh and dont burn a lotta media really
-
BluRay is good for storage though lots of space
-
/me has a raid-0 backup, and a raid-1 main system. backup is 150 GB and regular is 300 GB. 16 GB flashdrive and 8 GB flashdrive as well.
-
Commodore 64!!!
-
lol, that would be an interesting choice indeed
-
Baaatteries... Must get good supply of batteries.
-
mk/me buys $100 worth of battries for the heck of it
:thumbsup:
-
That might not be very much depending on what batteries your buying. Some are really expensive
-
arrg.. im (Really) sorry for the necro post but I'm actually gonna get a hundred and 30 in the next week. Sold a computer, money's comin. Ok, I thought about it for a while and im *still* unsure what to do with it lol!
edit: I thought about upgrading my monitor, if so I would sell mine at a hundred, and that would put me at around $230 for a new monitor. Though, im not sure if it's worth it to me....

You should get a second one for SLI. That's what I want to save up for.
