Morden has Cash: Now what to do with it?
Morden279
Genius
in Zocalo v2.0
After a brief run-in with the hated agents of free-market capitalism at company payroll, I've finally been paid, now resulting in myself having £900 ($1,550) in my bank account.
Since then, I've been beset by things I want to buy; an X-Box,a life size size steel Crusader Knight's helm (£150), a f*cking gorgeous replica lightsaber (£250), and a whole myriad of Airsoft kit.
However, now that I've got £900, I REALLY don't want my balance to go down, it's such a great feeling! :D
Can any of you guys think of a wise investment or something cool I can spend my wages on but is also fun and practical as well? :)
Regards,
Morden

a full length leather duster... or a piece of clothing youre likely to be buried in
good tools for whatever industry or profession you want to get into... there are always items which you know you'll use forever, a chef buys a set of the best knives, a motor mechanic buys a snap on ratchet etc etc...
if youre interested in music.. a set of senheiser earphones... etc
if you have the henries... buy the best you can get in any chosen item, and 99/100 times you'll get something you'll keep forever, or they'll retain thier value
or go blow it on ale and whores..:D

*Does the sound of a drum-roll* :rolleyes:
SB, my own pimp-mobile is a good idea, but road-tax and insurance for under 21s is ridiculous.
BTW: No moochers, this money is mine! :p

they are only about 700 bucks :D
a road bike ? surely you could get a 250cc machine or something close to it ?
:D
But... it's a start eh Bekenn? :D
hah hah hah

Quiet you...
You have things to auction off! :p

[B]Wanna see if we can smuggle a garand into england? ;)
they are only about 700 bucks :D [/B][/QUOTE]
LOL! Severely tempted, but customs are about as hard to get through as a fire-brick wall, these days! :D
SD: The lightsaber a replica of Luke's (Forbidden planet also does Count Dooku's and Darth Maul's) and it looks sweet as a knut. I might fork out for it when my next pay comes, taking me just over £1200.
As for a bad-ass Scoo-tay, I don't really need it. I mostly only have to walk to get to the places I need to go, and I catch the bus the rest of the time.
I'll definately go with what Bekenn said and not spend over half, I want some of it to last me until Uni. ;)

Morden

LOL! I think my £10 Casio will do just fine. :D
SD, I know the type of saber you're talking about, but I've got my heart set on the top-end Master Replica version (no blade or anything, just the hilt) which retails about £200.

Morden
[B]nice. but whats the point if theres no blade?:D [/B][/QUOTE]
Exactly, it just looks COOL! Jesus, all this money and so much pointless junk to choose from! :D

It's...so....hard!
Ok, I figured out a way that can keep me satisfied and still sound: I'm going to auction off....ownership rights ;)
(Hey, it was worth a try :D)
[B]I got me a kickass lightsaber the other week! luminescent fixed blade, motion sensors, speaker with several different sounds for hitting objects and such, and a metal hilt. only cost me £61 as well! [/B][/QUOTE]
I have one of those too, it's Anakin's and now Forbidden Planet has Luke's and Vader's.
I saw the guys in there having a lightsaber duel with them a few weeks ago.
Worf

One for yourself, and one for me, for showing it to you.

I'm getting it for Xmas from my parents, alongside a 512 stick of PC3200 RAM, for some schweet dual channelage in my already uber-schweet PC. :D
[B]Heh...Idle curiosity, how big of a difference IS there between 3200 and 2100 DDR? [/B][/QUOTE]
I honestly couldn't tell you, but thanks to recent research, I can tell you that Alienware laptops use PC2100, whereas my beastly (it's not really superpowerful, but it can run UT2K3 at max resolution with 60+ fps) rig uses PC3200. Not that that helps at all. :p
Since 3200 is the fastest, any FSB over 400MHz, its probably best to just go with PC3200 DDR...speed of access never hurts :). (Basically, this only refers to two groups of chips: the new P4's that have an 800MHz FSB and the 64Bit AMDs that have CPU clock speed for their FSB)

Oh, and Morden, you could always give me that money :)
