What is something you really want but can't bring yourself to buying?

A NUC / any barebones small PC.

Too expensive for what you get. (at the moment).... but I really do want one.

Some of the intel ones are dirt cheap, especially the celeron/i3 models

 

 

I want to buy a ps4, xbone and wii u.... I can easily afford them but I keep spending my money on other things

It was the nvidia shield but I went and got that, so I'd say probably wireless Astro headset, or 1440p 144hz monitor / water cooling.

a new keyboard and new headphones, just can't justify it when my current peripherals, while i might not like them they are working just fine. 

 

oh, and a new cpu cooler for the same reasons stated above, but wait, there's more! a 3d printer! but i can't justify the purchase as i can't see myself using it for anything other than playing around with it.

Non tech bits I'd say a Kawasaki Ninja 300r, but having a sport bike in a north american city is like having an 18inch dongle in a nunnery, absolutely pointless.

A pair of HD800's. I just sit there, looking at them in awe.  They cost about as much as my whole PC

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.

Would you stack them or do a very large surround/eyefinity?

I want to buy parts for the sake of just building another computer, but I already have a computer than works well, so there's no point.

A gtx 770, I know its great but I can get an r9 280 for $220 where as the 770 is $330 and not that much better.

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

This. I'm just gonna modify my case and liquid cool my current one instead, and liquid cool a pair of 880's whenever they come around. Bigger PSU is also on the list for future additions.

Biggest thing on my list is a house. She's coming. Already got the truck/toys!

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

An new iPhone. I really like my current iPhone but I need a new phone, but the only people you see using iPhones are Mums, teenage girls and apple fan boys, and I don't fit into any of those categories.

I really need a pair of headphones. At the moment I'm gaming with some Apple Earpods and it's okay, but I know the audio can be so much better. Just waiting to get my ATH-M50s...

 

Also I would like another U2312HM monitor for watching Hearthstone streams while playing and for looking at chats while gaming.

 

I want a Canon 50D as well, but that's super expensive. I hope I'm getting a monitor for my birthday though :)
