Christmas is over and, thanks to unimaginative but rich relatives, you've managed to scrape together a little bit of cash with which to treat yourself. Unfortunately, you're so stuffed with turkey that you can't think of what to buy! Never fear though - bit-tech is here!

Harrys come to bed eyes never worked...

Kylevdm · 26th Dec 2008, 11:05

Zombie Flux is awesome... I really need to get myself a set...

Multiplectic · 26th Dec 2008, 11:14

Wait wait.... No cheesecake here? What happened?

Anyway, at least I'm following one of all your recommendations, and getting myself a lovely XFX GTX 260 Black (for now... I'm waiting to see how the 55 nm 260 goes...).

Mr Mario · 26th Dec 2008, 14:09

I shall be taking your advice and shall get myself a p182, and maybe zombie flux as well

Javerh · 26th Dec 2008, 16:36

Razer Deathadder may be great but I still prefer my new Lachesis!

wuyanxu · 26th Dec 2008, 17:21

p182 F.T.W.!
not only favourite amongst the staff, it's also a favourite amongst the forum readers.

but, at £350, the 24inch is a bit expensive........ got any recommendations for one around or below £250??

"How To Spend Your Christmas Cash" ?
thats a big LOL dude!
what cash?

Jipa · 26th Dec 2008, 17:50

I'm so glad to see P182 still there

Also looking forward to the next (P183?), I'm quessing it'll make its appearance on Q1...

BioSniper · 26th Dec 2008, 18:32

P182 and Deathadder, I've had both now for some time and its great to see them still recommended as I feel they were great purchases then and ones that I am still very happy with to this day.

slugbug · 26th Dec 2008, 18:48

But I didn't get any Christmas cash

SkOTT · 26th Dec 2008, 18:53

I've had my P182 for an entire year now, and the only problems I've had with it are to do with the hardware i put inside it. The case itself has been amazing and never let me down or sliced open a finger. NIce to see it still being the top choice.

I'll second that question...!

On my personal list to fritter away some loot in the near future is the Asus Xonar DX sound card.
