Birthday present

[needmorewood]

parents asked me what i wanted for my birthday and they wont take nothing as an answer
they are giving me the option to pick what i want.
i have a badass gaming computer, i got nice headphones (beyerdynamic COP's), got decent speakers ( not going to replace)
i have 2 monitors, have a nice phone 
(i worked for everything but the phone so dont judge me)

so what kind of things would u guys get in my position?
 i turned 20 if that helps, i live by myself in a house in a different city from my parents for school

You "need" a home storage and media streaming server. 

It'd be yours, but your family would benefit too. But for you, it'd be for backing up your gaming computer and storing general media on. They are always nice to have. Especially if your computer dies for whatever reason. 

I suggest building your own if you are comfortable with that.  It's a fun project. At least it would be fun for me.

I'd just ask for money, then save it or put it in the bank, I guess.

Simple, if you're american then get a gun.

 

You need a means to protect such a valuable asset. You can budget in a mossberg 500, 590 and for entry level handguns ( 500 dollar price range ) you could opt into a cz 75 ( personal fav next to the single stack 1911's and the five seven which my state won't let me haz ) or a glock 17. 

 

I'm being serious.

Ah c'mon, a 458 isn't that much .

A Raspberry Pi. This thing can be used for a lot of things, and can really teach you a lot about software and hardware (If you let it).

[hawaiims]

 

Nice clothes (preferably a gift card, because clothes are a lot about personal preference)

IEMs (in ears) if you don't have nice ones already

Amazon gift card (yeah I know, it's boring and all)

 

Oh and last, but not least, maybe just tell them to send money to hawaiims.. he sure could use some monies haha

Are you seriously suggesting a gun to protect his pc? 

[Morpheus]

nothing then? let them save their money.. not necessary to spend it

[Cwazywazy]

A go kart. Cheaper than a car and they're more dangerous which means more fun.

 

Or go browse for something on Thinkgeek or ThisIsWhyImBroke. Water jet packs are always fun.

 

OR a race car bed. Those things are the shiz.

Ah, that makes more sense. 

Go peripherals. Get awesome unique peripherals. Get a stinky board. That'd be sweet. I'm just thinking of things I personally want or have enjoyed having. 

If their budget is high enough, Rift + Omni? I'm not sure how far along the kickstarters are, but you could maybe get one of them early on.

Yes, among other things. Plus, shooting is a recreation too. The means to defend oneself, possessions, loved one's should take priority over adding to his already solidly performing computer.

If their budget is high enough, Oculus + Omni? I'm not sure how far along the kickstarters are, but you could maybe get one of them early on.
