Never say never

To each their own, i went through a phase where beer tasted like shit to me. I don't drink much at all anymore anyways, just socially, due to my medication's. I wasn't trying to make you an alcoholic but sometime's it's nice to just have a drink, relax and enjoy life

Same here except the odd few i do still enjoy Newcastle brown ( UK not sure if you can get it in US ). A few others but normally irish stuff..

I think as you get older your options change a lot as i use to drink beer lager but now it's just spirits if i do.

I usta HATE alcohol but when I got older, I just wanted to sit and drink a nice cold beer with my meals and drink when I am gaming. HELL I WANNA BEER NOW!!!....... BUT....... I am at work

Its all because beer is awesome!

Try heroin instead. You don't get a hangover (although you might get some slight constipation...).

95Viper · Apr 5, 2012

Save it, along with a little or a lot more.
And, get something for your rig you always wanted... but, thought to be extravagant or over the top!

Mussels · Apr 5, 2012

this isnt GN, so please keep it to the tech talk.

I know that I am new here, but Cougar fans are tied for first IME, next to Delta PWM's (+ high power fan controller). I have used Cougar fans on a dozen PC's built for friends and to my knowledge, not one has failed. Spend $1-2 at Home Depot for some small rubber bushings to mount between the fan and case and they are the quietest fan with a high cfm/static pressure (that I have used).

If I only had $50 for an upgrade, I would probably buy a new game and upgrade my game collection ... then save up more for a hardware upgrade.

Just my 2 cents !

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Apr 5, 2012

Buy some cans of air to keep your rig nice and clean.

Yo_Wattup · Apr 5, 2012

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I have an idea...

I've bought this stuff and it's amazing, have it on my mouse right now.

Real cool stuff if you're kind of a hobbyist like myself. :eek:

and it's much less than $50 too

Really nice fans..
COUGAR CF

+1 Agree! Got to two, to replace the stock fans on my H80...

Better air flow/lower db's

Aquinus · Apr 5, 2012

A: A 6-pack of beer (someone can buy it for you.)
B: A cheap video game.
C: Some 22 AWG wire.
D: Various assorted resistors.
E: A soldering iron.

Then find some documentation and volt-mod that GTX 470 of yours if you're considering getting a Kepler in the near future.

micropage7 · Apr 8, 2012

whats in my list
if i have $50, i would buy fans or making cover for my pc

Synon Zelra · Apr 8, 2012

if you don't have an audio card, then it is.

davidm71 · Apr 8, 2012

Get a dance

Get a couple lap dances! Lol!

amythompson172 · Apr 8, 2012

Uhmmm... try to upgrade ur ram I guess? Idk what u have now.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003DZJQQI/?tag=tec06d-20

Get those fans too i guess...........

Aquinus · Apr 9, 2012

I have a really good idea. How about you don't spend it and put it aside with any other small bits of money you debate spending, and actually get something that will benefit your rig? :cool:
