    A job would be nice. The only work I've had this year was a 6-week temp contract for the local NHS IT helpdesk. The thought of spending another christmas unemployed is undeniably depressing.

    After reading the review, have 2 U2711s. Absolutely love them. Wish I had the money and space to get a third for Eyefinity and Grid.

    Well, I wish for an UPS (I think I've ruined my RAID onboard controller because of the winter's storms), 1 Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB for main drive (the Crucial C300 256GB is still huuu-uuu-ge in price), 2 Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB 64MB Buffer for storage, Sapphire 1250W PSU, Watercooling parts, Creative Arena Sound Blaster Headset, a Asus Xonar D2, Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speaker System and Gran Turismo 5 Signature Edition! I have a dream!

    Oh oh, and for AMD to launch the 69xx series (sounded so dirty!) and the Bulldozer architecture!

    Do a search of top 10 blueray players and invariably a PS3 raises its ugly head.... the side effect of being a games console is that it has oodles of umph and loads quicker than a standard bluray. Also software updates that only take fookin ages to apply are available almost every time you turn the fooking thing on....

    Ive asked (and got... judging by the big ass box that came in the post that Im not allowed look at) for a big ass leather luxury chair to aid my gaming comfort :)

    on my wishlist is a replacement SSD since mine went belly up (sending it back to them, but still very cautious) And a decent wireless headset for <£70 as I broke my creative HS1200's whilst moving house.
    Might end up just getting the new soundblaster tactics alpha, as they look pretty nice.

    Already got plans for my own early Christmas gift. Spotted a nice TV while trolling Best Buy. Was just trying to get first hand impressions before buying online and spotted that they were having a nifty sale. Going to be snagging that in a couple days once I get a tasty paycheck.

    I'd also like either mini-ITX Sandy Bridge components on release, or quick price drops on low end 1156 hardware! Needs me an HTPC for that TV!

    And something to place them on.

    And something to sit on while viewing.

    Uh oh, looking like a spendy Christmas!

    Have you seen the competition from Asus? It also comes in a 3G version.
