What I want for Christmas

[polobunny]

Geek stuff you want for Christmas :D

1) A SATA2 PCI-ex controller card
-I just added a SATA to eSATA bracket to accomodate my external HDD. I'm out of SATA ports, or I can use the crappy 1.5Gbps Silicon Image controller I got onboard. :/ Luckily for me, they aren't super expensive, I don't want some big thing for RAID and whatnot.

2) A can of compressed air
-I need to clean my case. I'm going to dremel my case and redo the wiring during the holidays, that will be needed. :P

3) A SATA DVD burner
-Getting tired of my IDE one, though it works mighty fine. Just me being the usual geek. I'll go for a NEC whenever my budget permits it.

4) Screws, dremel blades, trim
-Blades to cut through my case, screws to finally put my surround system around me and not just on my desk and trim not to cut myself and my wires on my modded case :D

5) TV tuner
-I'm ditching my X1900XT for my newly acquired 8800GT and I use the VIVO functions. I'm not sure i'll have enough PCI slots empty, I might have to remove the additional USB ports bracket from my case. Alternatively, I could mod those ports somewhere in the back of my case, under the 120mm fan. See #4 for more dremel blades. I got the rev1 of Antec 900 (on the left in the pic)


I'm probably a bit late. Oh well. What about you guys, what are your geeky wishes?

I already ordered mine Thanks btw for help on my thread and all the advice.

I want a set of headphones since I ripped the cord out of my old ones.

Things I want (not that anyone cares ^^):

Frosted bottle of Dr. Pepper + Bag of snack size Snickers;
Sum of blue LED's + spool of wire for tinkering;
TR HR-03 plus + AC 9 for my GTX;
Decent fans + controller for my case;
Cheap P4 3 Ghz + 256 meg nvid card + mobo + 1 gig ram to resurrect old case;
LCD panel monitor for my viewing pleasure;

I only really plan on getting one of the aforementioned. My brokeazz cannot afford more than one ^^. Probably end up getting the first, though I have no complaints with that solution.

I either want a Thermaltake Big Typhoon or a Cooler master Gemini 2. I have kind of started messing with a little OCing. My Zalman 9500 just isn't up to par for my new 6000+. Besides, the guys here a HL took care of the other thing I wanted.

A lot of websites are doing a lot of rebates on the GeminII. Keep an eye out. It was actually down to $.99 at one point.

Zip Zoom Fly for $16.00 after the rebate.

No problem coshkara. And YH, can you believe I had it for a week and still didn't install it? :O
Don't forget the fans for the GeminII. =]

You sure you don't want RAID. No, not redundant arrays of independent disks but rather the ant killer.
