Christmas is around the corner!

Post by Sparkfist »

Well now that Thanksgiving is over we can sanly start putting up the christmas decortations and sing the songs that make people happy.

I'm courious is anyone here still making out list of what they want? I was aproched by my mother who suggested it to me.... I think thats weird.

I'll just say my list of now is small.

512 mb ddr-ram for my computer
Maybe $100+ so I can look into getting a new computer, a mac or make a linux box.

Well, here is my list, in order of importance.

1. credit card sized ITX power supply, prefferable PW-120-M
2. Nintendo DS and Super Mario 64 DS
3. Vacuum Molding Table
4. Cash
5. Final Fantasy X! for PS2 with subscription

#3 and 5 are unlikely...
Warranty-Voiding fun!
