I wanted a fancy phone like any other dumb kid. My parents payed $400 for a nokia n73 at the time. And years after I still wanna kill myself when I think about it.

An Xbox 720. Just look at how that childhood dream turned out. :P

What do they know of England, who only England know?

Well, i didn't get any sort/kind of tech stuff as a kid, not expensive nor even when i asked for a low class tech (they somehow were allergic). period , so i think i dodged couple of bullets via spending overly or even remotely on tech stuffs.

 

Except one of those cassette Walkman with ass huge speaker on the front side(uber/flagship tech at that time from Sony i believe) but i got that as a gift from a distant relative, so . .   * one tiny tear drop *

Details separate people.

I Pod mini. Only bought it because everyone else had one and I wanted to be cool too. I used it for a week then never touched it again. Even worse, I had my name etched into the back so I couldn't sell it QQ.

Linus is my fetish.

I wanted a Zalman Z11 Plus because it looked like a Lamborghini in a way.

Yeah, I learned that less is more and I now have a Corsair Air 540.

Some other things:

An iPod Touch 1st Generation. Apple make excellent products IMO, but the 1st Gen Touch wasn't one of them.

An NVIDIA Shield. Not childhood, but I find I use it so little that it wasn't worth it. It's still a fantastic device, just one I have little time to use.

An AMD FX 8350. Very happy that I didn't go for one of those. Not because it's AMD, but because for what I do, Intel is better.

A Corsair CX600M. Good unit, but 600W is a strange wattage point for a current-gen system and the cables were ungodly. Thankfully, @Lord Pantaloons let me take his 700W Silent Pro M. And while the cables are still ugly, the supply's wattage makes sense for me, as I prepare to buy either a second GTX 770 or a pair of GTX 970s.

Did you forget about your shitty Diablotek PSU? xD

I don't regret all of the tech things I wouldn't want to buy now. I liked them at the time and they made me learn a lot :) so... mmmm I don't have no regrets

PROFILEYEAH

What do people even put in these things?

Is it a good case? I have been thinking about getting one for one of my random PCs.

Yeah, the 230T is a pretty good budget case.

When I was around 9-10 (13 now) I wanted beats, I didn't really know anything about headphones or tech in general back then. Eventually I realized what an idiot I was yet my dad got me a pair of beats studios first gen when he went to Tenerife (almost a year ago). So far I've only used them twice, once to see how they sound, second time to see the horrible leakage of sound it produced...

@TheSLSAMG HEY the zalman z11 is the best case money can buy for like $30.  I have two!  They're great!

 

I got a ps3 when I was working out of town for almost a year.  Figured I would play it.  I got rural point to point internet shortly after and just played on my laptop instead.

wanting a full tower case *stares at phantom on the floor*

Ikr, I got an 800D for $75 off craigslist and it was the biggest mistake ever. (first world problems, right?) I traveled a lot and the damn thing weighed 65 pounds with my system in it. I ended up selling it on ebay for like $160 but I had to pay $45 in shipping and $20 in ebay fees. Definitely not worth the $20 profit. 

RIP in pepperonis m8s

This, but I am more disappointed with the Wii.

Buying a ps3 and then realizing I could of built a really kickass gaming pc

There have been many wars that have rocked the face of Earth, Many have heard of WWI, WWII, The Cold War, The Vietnam War and the Iraq War. But there has been a war that only a handful of humans know.....AMD vs Intel. It all started in 1985 when Intel released the first 32bit processor, the Intel 386. This war has been raging on for decades and Intel and AMD are still at each others throats. Fanboys have been ruthlessly killed, motherboards have been short circuited and most gruesome of all... CPU pins have been bent. Stop this war before it is too late. #STOPTHISWAR
