    if you play games you could a get a few of those or save the 100 and put it towards an 8800, if not, I'd go for the USB rocket launchers, or maybe replace on of those CRTs with an LCD

    100 squids should be used to make lots of squid rings

    It would have to be: "What can one do with 90 squids and 1000 one penny sweets?"

    you could sell your 7800 and put all the money together for an 8 series.

    Or alternatively give the money to me, I'm skint and in need of money for a c2d system. Go on, sponsor me! I'll send you an annual newsletter to let you know how I'm getting on and pictures from time to time.

    Put a deposit on a PS3, by the time it actually comes available you could afford the very reasonable asking price, or as DM says you could give it to him.

    Dont really see the point in an 8-series atm, as i dont game on the dell, the dual 17"CRT setup is on my desktop.

    I might get my case sent away to kustom for another 2 windows which i have planned, for project q-pack, which i've not looked at in a long time, or add a triple rad to my w/c.

    Im really not sure
