The "What you got for Christmas" Post

[Spawn-Inc]

figure i would make this and then we can compare to the "What I Want For Christmas".

i got christmas on the 23rd since it was the only time my main family could join together.

i got the usual christmas stuff shirts, pants, etc.

my main gift was a tomtom one 3rd edition GPS, its really neat though i haven't had a real chance to use it aside from running down the street and back it said i was going at 8km/hr.

here is the gps unit helping guide my computer :p

when my uncle came over he brought a old computer he found and there was goodies inside!

Pentium 1 233MHz

a 5 1/4 harddrive WOW! big, heavy, and only 5gb.

this has a little clear window on the backside and you can see the arm whipping back and forth.

Specs, should you want to know

so whats did you guys get?!

I don't know everything yet, but what I'm aware of (I'll keep you posted):

-Foxconn N570SM2AA-8EKRS2H (AM2, nF570)
-Cooler Master RP-650-PCAR (pretty damn sure it's a rebadged Seventeam but I haven't actually gotten a look at it yet)
-2x1GB OCZ PC26400 4-4-4-15
-250GB WD SATAII/16MB

...Which of course are going in with:

-A64 3500+ (I've had it on the shelf for most of a year; traded a blue-tinted 17" CRT for it)
-Visiontek Radeon x1950Pro 256MB ($66 AR)

So... finally upgrading.

I made this thread already, last year =p

Whatever.

I've got a $150 thinkgeek gift certificate, a $100 starbucks gift card (both from my grandma ftw), not got anything else yet. My dad hinted at getting me the case I wanted (CM Stacker 830) or a 22" widescreen LCD monitor (I told him I'd prefer the case because I like having identical monitors atm).

I told my father what I want (dad = step-father, father = birth father) and I've no clue what he's got me (and I probably won't find out for another week when I see him). He did bring up that my mom probably wouldn't be able to afford the main thing I wanted (xbox 360) and I think that's the case since my mom's informed me that I'm getting an envelope (what it contains inside only god and my mom know... =p).

She actually apologized to me. I was like "Hey, Sara's still alive and you're still here too. I'm glad for that. I'm glad that Grandma's here for christmas, too. I'm glad for the important things, so don't apologize. I can guarantee you I'd be just as happy getting nothing."

tack-on:

My dad just called me asking me where he could find a CM Stacker 830 (pretty much seals the deal that I'm getting one) but he told me he's gone to Fry's (hour drive each way), CompUSA, PC Club, etc and not found one. The one place he didn't look? Office Depot. The one place that has it? Office Depot.

Go figure.


EDIT:

I got peace in my household and the love of my family.

and christmas isn't until tomorrow here. IT's 11 am christmas eve.

Huzzah for being Swedish: We celebrate Christmas (the whole present spiel and such) on Christmas eve. Only a few more hours for me (probably 6 or 7).
