    Personally for me it has to be Shattered Horizon which is probably one of my favourite games ever, even though I've only racked up a few hours so far so:

    Shattered Horizon - £13 - Great game and relatively cheap.

    Second place is my 24" Yurak(u) S-PVA which at £170 was an absolute bargain for £166 however it loses out because I don't feel like it's been an amazing purchace even though I know it is. (Has the 'u' fallen off for anyone else yet?)

    Yuraku 24" PVA - £166 - Good value for a 24", let alone a PVA panel

    So what have been your favourite purchaces last year?

    I think mine would be...
    Glastonbury Tickets
    Lian Li A05 from Phinix, nice case as it was and it came modded with a nice bulgin switch and feet

    My Yuraku was a good purchase too, if not a little disappointing as I only got a TN panel. I do, however, have all the letters left!

    Glastonbury tickets could possibly share the prize but I've only paid the deposit and it might turn out to be crap.

    Computer-wise, probably the GD65 i got in the MSI promo (eventually) or the 3 275gtx and 1 4870x2 that i got for just over £350.

    Most of the year has been taken up with buying baby gear/toys etc...

    dam that is a tough one.

    My A1 free standing drawing board for £20 on ebay was a total win had to collect it from a nice chap who just wanted rid of it. Brand new its £150

    My current project case Lian li PC-70 collected off andrew8200 for £10 or something was awesome, loving the extra space its given me.

    either of those as they were the biggest possible savings i could have made considering there retail price or closest alternative product cost.
