My birthday is coming up on April 1(not joking) and i was wondering if there is any cool tech gadgets i could ask for. I am super into tech and computer stuff. I have an alienware x51 with a gtx660 in it, two 1080p monitors, galexy s4, nexus 7, 3DS. I was thinking pebble metal but i heard they take forever to come. the budget is around $400-$500, all suggestions welcome.

 

There is no need to post something saying thankful for what i have. When did i say i was a snobby brat?

Another one of these? I'd say ask for a couple of dollars and take your parents out to dinner with you. Bam quality time better than any material good. 

 

Be thankful their there to help you and support you through life.

I was pretty surprised to read those two sentences consecutively, anyway if that PC of yours is upgradeable, then why not get a nice GPU in there? Something like a 780 maybe?

Holy balls you get $500 worth of stuff for your birthday!

 

Anyway in all honesty you would probably be best off banking it for now. If you don't know what to get don't get anything if that makes sense :)

Maybe another monitor? Mechanical keyboard if you doesn't have one already, or a new GPU.

It's called the pebble steel, and yes that could be a good choice. I do prefer my original design pebble though. Even though it has a plastic design, the overall aesthetic is smooth and good enough that I can't really justify another $100 for the steel to get a more "fashionable" look. Don't get me wrong, the pebble steel is sexy as hell though. Some other random goodies that I couldn't live without...hmmm...

 

Some kind of portable battery for your phone like the Patriot Fuel+ might be good. Otherwise, just ask for something smaller and get the difference in cash to put towards a bigger project.

Be thankful that you have a roof over your head and that you are fed by your parents.

Gas money. Doesn't matter if you're 12 and/or don't own a car, some day you'll blow through it like nothing.

Invest it in a portfolio of shares so you can use it later in life... depending on how old you are.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

So do something else with that money instead of using it on yourself, like doing something nice with your parents. If your thankful show that you are. 

 

I'll say no more.
