Your best purchase of 2009
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! |

I recently got a slightly used LG xenon off my buddy for 50 bucks. Big step up from my samsung j706 so now I can actually text!

Glastonbury tickets, probably. That or Varsity Ski Trip. For tech stuff definitely my new mouse - Logitech MX Revolution - great bit of kit.

Tickets to LeMans 2009.
.Much more than a race, its a 5-day festival celebrating motorsport, beer and fire.

Probably my Epiphone Dot
![]() 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.
