So basically, my summer job of lifguarding is paying pretty well, and I have lots of hours, so I want to play some leet things for myself. There are a couple things I've considered:
GP2X: This one is pretty high on my list. It's cool, small, and I can pay for it in less than a week of work. The only problem is that I wouldnt want to take it to school or anything (my ipod got stolen and now I'm paranoid) So the portable part may be kinda pointless, though it would be nice on car rides and such.
Compy for myself: I don't really have a good compy for myself, so I'm considering making one. I already have a graphics card I would use, and a cd drive and cables. I could also use one of the cases and psu's I have laying around. This could be expensive or cheap for me. I have a plan to make my mom pay for half, so if she did, i would probably do it. BTW, does anyone know a cheap and good cpu and mobo combo for webbrowsing and light gaming?
Psp: This one is pretty unlikely, but I'll put it out there. Might be fun to play some Liberty City Stories and Lumines.
Portables: This is one I would like to do. Buy myself a nice battery and screen, maybe some bondo, build a nice NESp/FAOCp.
Nokia 770: Basically same reasons as GP2x, but more expensive.
Other: please specify in post
Help me decide! (mod can you make this a poll??)
What should I buy?

This is more of a F42 kind of thread. 
Moving...
Go for a decent computer; you'll probably get more use out of that than anything else.

Re: What should I buy?
Did it get stolen when you were right there, or was it in your locker? If someone stole it and you knew who but couldn't get it back, I'd suggest getting a weight set and workout so that you can beat the person into giving it back. But since your a lifeguard, you should be pretty strong already.madc0w wrote:my ipod got stolen and now I'm paranoid
I'd say get a computer.

I already have a ds!teraflop122 wrote:You seem to have left out the other major option: Nintendo DS! I'm sure it was simply oversight
Also, the ipod was stolen out of my backpack, by this really big ass black guy. (it was at 6 at night in a random place, and I saw him like fifteen minutes walking around before i found my backlpack ripped apart)
It was kinda my fault though, for being stupid enough to leave it in another room. I am actually pretty damn strong, I'm going to be on the jv football team.
I'm thinking gp2x, upgrade to my junky compy project and some random other stuff. Though that could change by tomorrow.
