How much money on average do you spend per week :P
Hmmm, the last month I've probably spent around $500, but around $225 of that was giftcards and stuff... but I'm working a crap load this week, and as my brother showed me, with special pay, I'll be expecting around $270ish for a one-week paycheck next friday.
But I've got to say, I've never had this much money in my life before. And I've never spent this much money in my life before at such a rapid rate.
Invest in socks.
When the zombie apocalypse happens you will be needing a good supply of socks.
Very good thing: $200 a month raise. Now I too can invest in socks.

Where do you work?
EDIT: I actually did just invest in socks. The old ones were getting holes.
Those aren't nearly as fun as squirrel guns. Where's the Dath I know?
I didnt buy anything but I lost the last 5 pounds of my goal of getting rid of my "winter fat" (read: i eat like **** during the winter)
Goal accomplished whee

I saw a gopher get schmucked by a minivan on I-90 today. I lul'd.

Gateway P-6860FX
Core™2 Duo processor T5550 (Fully Upgradable!)
4GB PC2-5300 Ram
320GB Harddrive (With slot for second 2.5" hdd)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 8800M GTS 512MB (Fully Upgradable!)
17" Widescreen Display
All sorts of goodies
I had to pick up a new laptop today because my company's last contract purchased my work laptop and they requested it back. :( I headed to Best Buy after work, saw this one on sale and thought it was a pretty sweet deal.
So far I'm very happy with it. It's built like a tank (over 9 pounds!) and is super easy to get into and swap parts. Once the T9300s come down in price I'm going to throw one of those into it. Now I just need to find a good bag for it. :)

That's the case I have and it's pretty good. Only thing that sucks is that it bulks up when u decide to put the power supply in any of the pockets. I also have the same looking laptop without the snazzy looking orange trim. But ya it's a good case. I've flown with it and always use it when I take my laptop anywhere and never had anything happen to it, even when I keep it in my trunk.

Where do you work?
Laboratory for Atmospheric Space Physics. I write ground control software for science satellites while I'm getting my masters degree.

At a little over a grand it's a smokin' deal if you ask me. With a decent CPU it would be a kickass gaming laptop. That's really all it lacks.
If you wanted to, you could pad-mod that T5550 to 2.2GHZ (11x200) while you're waiting for the prices to go down on the T9300's. It's a 667MHZ FSB chip; pad-mod it to 800MHZ and it'll run at 2.2GHZ. Just make sure the RAM can run at that speed (DDR2 400). All it takes is a rear-window defroster repair kit; specifically the copper paint in said kit. Might be worth looking into. ;)

Sweet lord, you have access to satellites with freakin' laser beams on them.
We're boned.

Unless he lasers every house with an internet connection. ):

Cool. Got a link to more Info? I'm having trouble finding anything.

Cool. Got a link to more Info? I'm having trouble finding anything.After searching through the various O/C forums I found that while this could be done with the previous generation, it seems that the newer Intel mobile chipsets will lock the multiplier at 6x if it is attempted. Sorry to let you down like that; I spoke too soon. :( There may a workaround somewhere. What made me think that this could be done was that two guys in the thread about this computer over at Anand were talking about doing it like it could be done. I guess they didn't know what they were talking about.
This can still be done with the desktop C2Ds, though, which is how I knew about it in the first place. It works very well when dealing with cheap motherboards with BIOSes that lack O/C features, but that doesn't help you, does it? :(
It looks like a T9300 or T8300 would be the best CPU upgrade. That motherboard does support the new 45NM CPUs, right?
Yup, it supports at least up to and including the T9300 45nm CPUs. :)
Well, a good sign is that the T9300 is being sold at GougeEgg for very little more than it's per-1000 price, and there are periodic price cuts from Intel that come at regular intervals, so you shouldn't have to wait too long.
It should prove to be a decent gamer with most games as-is.
Oh yeah, from what I've read, even without the processor upgrade It'll run Crysis on Medium settings very smoothly.

Pssst, TiE, stop buying ghey games just because they are cheap at GameStop. Sometimes, and I mean some times, they are cheap because they suck monkey. I beat that game back in February when work was unusually slow, I popped a copy into the PS3 interactive, and beat that whole game in the first try on the normal difficult setting. I beat my assistant manager too, and had to convince him that I never played it before. The controls on that game are like your grandfather's trip to the thrift store...slow and sloppy. Even for free, it still sucks. Trade it in, and pick up either Soul Caliber II, or Mortal Kombat Armageddon for regular xbox. It will look and play better than that fat turd you got right there. Right now the only other 3D fighter on 360 is Dead or Alive 4, which I am sure you played to death....Unless you are one of those Dragonball addicts...One of the reasons my store is so successful is that I have a totally open door honest policy with my customers. If a game sucks, I am not afraid to tell them about it. I don't work on commission, so I don't care. Most of the time, customers will appreciate my honesty, and pick something else out. If your not sure, just ask.

Ah-hem. *Clears throat*
F*ck you. In a friendly, fuzzy way ; )
I'm not an idiot, I can pretty much look at any game on a shelf at a Gamestop and name what rating it got and whether it sucks or not. :V
Anyway, now that that is out of the way...
This is really just to keep me sane until Soul Calibur IV comes out, and from the time I've played with it, it's a fine game, I think it's better than DoA4. But Soul Calibur II has always been my favorite because of it's deliberate feeling movements, and I still pop it in to play it in 720p goodness every once in awhile.
Also, I haven't bought anything at Gamestop in a few months, and I only spent a dollar on the game.
So I just got the 1000 note streak achievment in GH3. Bad news: its on my friend's profile! ****!!
I hit 1221 notes on One. I was like WHAT THE ****!!
Its cool though. I know a song I can do it on easily. Mainly because I can 100% it...
