    £100 to spend on computer

    just given my old computer to my dad and helped him transfer all data from his old computer. i will not take any money from my dad, but he insists in giving me £100 to spend on a computer.

    i have web cam/printer/scanner/optical mouse but am really struggling to think what to buy as i am really pleased with my new mesh pc.


    what would you spend the £100 on.


    keeping it real.

    If your speakers are cheapy generic kind, maybe upgrade them.

    Ink can be quite expensive so that could be a purchase. Always comes in handy. Or somewhere to store all the cds you have be it software, music or whatever.. or even a usb adapter to add another 3-4 usb ports to your machine.

    Spend it on some heroin, then you won't care how the computer is in fact a white cardboard box with an apple logo drawn on it. Will run as many games as the latest apple too!
