<div class="IPBDescription">Teh Winnar</div> I got a free shopping spree for said ammount of money^^
So far this is what I have,

Sound Blaster Audigy LS - 69.99$
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer - 39.99$ - <a href='http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051384317615&skuId=4302338&type=product' target='_blank'>http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...38&type=product</a>
Mario Kart: Double Dash 49.99$ - <a href='http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1061127218003&skuId=5939559&tab=4&type=product&productCategoryId=' target='_blank'>http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...ductCategoryId=</a>
DVD Burner - DV-LT-DVDRWP-BK - 109.00 - <a href='http://internetishop.com/product_detail.asp?main_cat_no=HW&sub_cat_no=02&item=DV-LT-DVDRWP-BK' target='_blank'>http://internetishop.com/product_detail.as...DV-LT-DVDRWP-BK</a>

However that leaves me with 63 dollars left to spend on something...
Is that enough to get a custom Skulk plush doll?

    Don't spend so much money on an optical mouse that will break down in a few months, get a good ball mouse if you can get one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Get a phat new mousepad man. I've used some really good ones that actually made ALOT of difference.
  • DiscoZombieDiscoZombie Join Date: 2003-08-05 Member: 18951Members
    upgrade performance instead! RAM, vid card, or something :> new games are good too... though I dunno what to suggest in that department... prince of persia?
  • JediYoshiJediYoshi The Cupcake Boss Join Date: 2002-05-27 Member: 674Members
    Good mousepads are a bit on the pricey side >_>

    optical mouse = no mousepad = win!
  • AeaAea Join Date: 2003-10-09 Member: 21552Members

    I've had this optical mouse for like 4 years or something. I honestly think it's just you being unlucky aea ^^;
  • ZiGGYZiGGY Join Date: 2003-01-19 Member: 12479Members
    Big batch of cheap ball mice > optical mouse
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    big batch of cheap ball mice = lots of cleaning + lots of broken cruddy mice

    optical mouse = win!


    Remember kids... if a shop clerk offers you a ball mouse, just say no! using ball mice is not big and it's not clever.

    That is the <i>EXACT</i> mouse I have right now. It works great.



    And how <i>could</i> you forget a RAM upgrade? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • DarkDudeDarkDude Join Date: 2003-08-06 Member: 19088Members
    How much RAM do you currently have? If you have 256 or 512 go get another stick. If you have 1GB I'd say go for a game instead.

    Im getting another 512 Stick at 266mhz, even though my current is 366--or something like that
    Hopefully after all these upgrades I can start saving for a new CPU and powersupply--serious upgrades.
    Edit: That leaves me with 30 dollars to spend :/
    *awaits new blue icon*
    Make at 15 dollars.Flayra Deserves it.
  • NuketheplaceNuketheplace Join Date: 2002-09-02 Member: 1266Members

    I'm surprised you didn't know that. Anyway I'm going to post the link to how to donate just in case someone else didn't know or didn't realize that you could donate by mail. As soon as I get 20$ I'm going to donate.

    I bought that mouse and threw it away. For some reason I couldn't aim with it. I went back to my cheap optical mouse and now I feel llike I've beeen cheated from my money. Point being Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer is the worst mouse I have ever owned in my life and it is expensive. Return it now BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!

    Unless I absolutely have to, I dont have much use for the mouse buttons, I will not.
    However the mouse is great.
    Shows what microsoft can do.
    GG Microcrap. GG.
    Edit: O_o my mom doesnt trust me donating to Flayra, says its some kinda fake charity gig.
    That means you guys gotta find me something worth 30 dollars.
