i dont know how much i'd have by christmas. last time i got like $330 worth of presents from everyone, and i get like 6.50 a week from allowance. im 13 btw. i'd like to buy this stuff a little after christmas, i could probably save some from after christmas sales. if i really need to i could reuse my optiplex case but personally i'd rather get a new one.
