About LinkBacksMy SSD for hardware. I have picked up a i5 2500K and mobo and a 570gtx but they have yet to be unwrapped so can't comment on them.
Peripheral for the pc has to be my pair of Ultrasone 550's. Sound is gorgeous.

Damnit, forgot the kindle, such a good piece of kit...
tbh, i have been extremely fortunate in tech goodies this year, may that trend long continue
We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat
Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

Gamewise: Battlefield 3 here as well, been playing fairly regularly now and still enjoying it, runs like a dream on the new system too.
I've got a brand new PC, and it's absolutely fantastic, but it hasn't exactly changed the way I do anything. I get it done a fair bit quicker, but it's still the same process.
On that basis, the purchase that has changed my life the most, the Kindle. I desperately wanted one for ages, and wasn't quite sure why, and now I have one, I know exactly why. It's brought back the joy of reading that I'd lost previously, and is just such a fantastically built and designed piece of kit.
for me it's my desire hd - my first smartphone, and i still can't believe how great it is to do stuff on the move + all that you can achieve with it.
have got my wife a kindle for Christmas - hoping that I get to share that with her
Just out of interest what specs?
For me personally it has been my SanFran/Wildfire S.
I'd never used email much before i had a "smartphone", but having my Live and Gmail accounts sent to me on the move has definitely changed the way i approach email now - both 'professionally' and for social/shop deals. Building on top of the phone itself, and while not wholly technical, GiffGaff's Goodybags have been a god send.
I may give the Kindle a look over as i really need to do more reading outside of pure Uni work if theres a chance it will re-ignite the interest.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I was going to say my Laptop (Toshiba R630, Core i3 2.27GHz, 8GB RAM). But then I relaised I bought it at the end of 2010 - Ahead of the curve, bitches!
So, this year, I guess it'd have to be my Zotac ZBOX ID-41. It replaced my ageing Shuttle SN21G5 and does a sterling job of Freeview HD in MythTV.
I built myself my first computer , big step up from my dell inspiron 8200 laptop which had a floppy disk drive
For me, it's my 27" Dell u2711 monitor, Bf3 is simply superb on a larger, high quality screen.
Merry Christmas.
I know, I still haven't got around to updating my sig
It's a Fortress FT-03, Maximum Gene IV Z68, 2500K @ 4.5, 8GB RAM, GTX570 and best of all a 256GB SSD, plus a 500GB 2.5" HDD for music and whatever else I don't want on the SSD. I need to re-jig all my specs, just haven't got around to doing it yet!
@Terbinator, you like GiffGaff? I find their website confusing. Am about to switch both my wife's and my phone to another network (from T-Mobile) and have been looking at these but am confused at the prices.
The website isn't the best, but for me the £10 GoodyBag (unlimited texts, data [sans tethering] and 250 mins) is perfect. That's before you get on to the community rewards and reasonable customer services from my dealings with them.

Thanks for that, that's the tariff that I was looking at. Just looks too good.
Sorry everyone for the O/T post.
As with most others BF3 for game of the year and also my SSD, even though it's a relatively slow Kingston v100 it's so much faster than my standard hard drive!
Main - Intel Core i5 2300 @ 3.5GHz, 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM, Asus P8P67 Pro, Coolermaster iGreen 600w, GTX 480, Antec One Case
For me it's got to be my home cinema speakers. Films simply come alive now
I'd +1 on the speakers, my new Mordaunt Shorts are simply stunning. I have one other, a freebie off Freegle - a Zero DAC headphone amp. Niiiice.
Cheers, David
