Lol, the funny thing is that I actually like it now :P. I still dislike the 8 app limitation, but other than that my only complaint is the band(black is boring). I pretty much use it daily.

I really want to get one, but in my financial situation I cant justify spending about $120AUD for one :P

50 Cent Wi-Fi USB dongle. I expected it to suck, so I am not sure if that counts.

I would say the GeForce GT 610, but I am impressed how it can keep cool even under load with just a heatsink and a tiny fan. AND it's Club3D (so it's rare).

 

My Tritton AX180 headsets. Yes. I have multiple. When my first one had cable problems, I got a new one from MadCatz without having to send the first one back. And then the second one got cable issues as well (I however fixed this), but at least I can use this one as a mic (which is terrible, but better than the BisonCam mic). And it sounds terrible, even for a headset.

I HAD a 3D 24" monitor for two years, only watched like 2-3 movies in 3D and played one game for a couple of minutes...

Surface RT 2012  Got it for my girlfriend to bring to school for Microsoft office use only. only paid like 200 with the touch cover when it was selling for like 499 New but man is that thing unresponsive and slow she still uses it for essays.  There offering $100.00 trade in for it to buy the surface 3 and also 10% off student discount that has me on the verge of almost getting it since at least it runs full windows now and seems to work good for light tasks

As some others are saying also i have 3d on my laptop i got back in 2011 used it maybe 5 times no more then 20 minuets each time never even watched a single movie on it. i hate 3d movies but when i got the computer i had the chance to get the top spec model which i never had before so i did waste of money.

X Box 1 can't even do 1080p 60fps.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Logitech G19 keyboard.

It's a piece of trash that cost me 140 bucks, it types nice but holy shit what garbage software. The capslock button light is broken too.

So many things I could write here... things like this.

GeForce FX 5200 and one of those Microsoft Natural keyboards. Worst thing ever.

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

xBox 360.

 

I mean, I like it and all, but it's not all that interesting. When it comes to console gaming, I always seem to revert back to the original xBox instead.

mine is probably my "hood pc" it has a pentium 4 on 478 i think and it runs at 900 mhz. it has 256mb of 200mhz ddr ram and it has some unknown video card that has 64mb of memory. all of this is housed in an emachine case that's probably about as old as me.

I have a 1600x900 monitor as my third display :P Works fine to display skype messages :)!

My main, and only, monitor is a 1600x900 :(

 

That hurts my monitor's feelings...

Heh

Probably my Asus Xonar DG sound card. I bought it because I thought the sound would be better blablabla but the on-board sound on my old MSI Z68A-G43 and my current Gigabyte Z77X-D3H so far sounded just as good unless my sound system or my ears are incapable of noticing the difference.

That Dell desktop with the MX 420 that didn't have ShaderModel 2.0 support, which meant I could not even install Splinter Cell, which was what I got the PC for in the first place... Sad times.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
