    Got all this new bed stuff from my mom to make my bed like super comfy lets just say that since i put the stuff on my bed ive slept over 12 hours each day and normally i only get 3-4 hours . about 3-4 weeks ago my dad let me order water cooling parts for xmas.

    I think my xmas was really last month though when i bought myself a 7800gtx 256mb, got an ipod nano(went against my own biases and got something APPLE*shiver*) and got a 21.3" monitor man do games look wicked at 1600x1200 on max settings.

    I got 200bux from my grandfather that mostly went to bills/food/gas expenses, but I managed to put aside some of it to take a trip to my local humidor and get a few of my favorite cigars. Got a Humidor and humidifier stick from my girlfriend for my cigars, and a few cigars to put in it

    Got a lot of stuff for my kitchen (I like to cook as well as mod....I'm a well rounded geek )
    - Set of 3 different iron skillets
    - Set of REALLY nice Stainless steel cookware
    - Set of plates/bowls/saucers/coffee cups for 8 people
    - Some stainless steel commercial grade baking pans
    - Set of shot glasses with different pool balls on them and 6 cocktail stirrers with 8-balls on them

    The only geeky thing I got was my brother gave me an Xbox he won in a contest but didn't need/want. That was really cool (when I buy my Nintendo Revolution it will be modded as well as turned into a linux desktop....will post worklog here)
    Also got the standard clothes, and other misc little items like a guinness beer keychain, can of earl grey tea, etc.

    If you haven't already, make sure to get XP as OEM. Most people don't realize you can do that.

    For those that don't, you can get a substantial discount on XP if you purchase it as OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) as long as you also purchase any internal computer component, such as an IDE cable.
