In this thread, we all get to show off all the great things we've bought recently. It can end up being pretty fun since some people end up buying some pretty cool stuff.

A videogame version of this thread can be found here: Look at what I got!! Gamer's Edition

I'll go first.


Spent quite a bit of money getting this place up and running, domain name, hosting, license for vBulletin + extra stuff... I think it costs about as much as a 360!

Bought my self laptop with my graduation money (my first laptop so far). =)



It's an Acer Aspire 5520, so far I'm happy with it. I'm still getting used to Vista though :P and the cream colored keyboard.

I quite like the Figma line of action figures, and I've picked two of them up- a Yuki Nagato and a Haruhi Suzumiya. They are very nicely posable, which is both fun and useful for artwork. Each cost me about $25 or so, so they're pretty cheap.

For a second I thought that moelman did last post ...

Anyway, this is old news, but I bought an Asus A8V-X motherboard and an AMD Athlon 64 +3000 cpu last month. I got laughed off by my friends 'cause I wasn't buying some dual core pciexpress x16 fancy thing: "dude, you're buying the old beetle instead of the new one"
but now I have two computers! HAHAHAHA ... suckers

@Mav: Nice cheap CPU I have an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ lol XD
I could increase my comps performance easily though since the RAM it came with all those years ago is 133MHz but the CPU bus speed is 166MHz XD Did I do that right?

Isn't that a resin kit, though? I'm alright at building and painting (double action airbrush makes this a lot simpler), but I'd have trouble applying those fishnets afterwards. Fixed pose figures looks nicer, but they aren't as fun as action figures.

They have both kits and pre-painted ones somewhere online, obviously the painted ones are way more expensive.

I have a Pentium 4 2.6GHz with 1GB or ram... I don't really care about whatever the hell it may or may not have XD Just as long as it has the capability of letting me run my web sites and handle the many big programs I have open all at once.
