Wow, congrats. Personally I would sell it to my husband for $50 and go get a massage! But do you maybe need a new router, or how about some nifty piece of software, PC games. Give me a few minutes, I'm good at spending money :lol:

Sell/Trade it for money and go have a party with friends.

Wow when it comes to free money, replies are quick. Thanks :o
Hehe the trading thing sounds nice, I'll give it a thought. What makes this a bit difficult decision because I already have most of the stuffs (a bit more) than I need laying around. I'm thinking another stick of RAM, add a few extra for a Core 2 Duo, Vista DVD, hmm... but they all I don't really need, but you know I do want them... aghhhhh... oh may be a midi-hub for my keyboard... hm...

or... I can trade and buy tickets to go see spiderman 3 with my friends :shock: :shock:

lol, I just got it so I'm excited and kinda burning some free times, too. keep going everyone.... :D
I'm looking for an in-ear bug headphone, I love Sony's. Any better non-pro brand u like ?

I just bought a pair of Sennheiser Street Series earbuds with added bass, they are on sale for $21 and if you use the Google checkout system you save $10, so they would be $11 plus shipping at Buy.com

find and envelope and put a 39cent stamp on it address it to me and put the $49.61 left in it and mail it to me, now thats a good idea. please if your going to buy in ear earphones save up more money and get shure e3c's off ebay. they put the hurt to any sennheiser earphones.

That's a great bargain! Not long ago, a 2GB USB storage drive cost that much money.
