Got my dough and realized, hey Toshiba gave up HD DVD, so it's about time I invested in a fairly respectable HD setup; well, it's more of an extension for my PC than anything.

LG 32' 720P LCD HDTV (ditched the Samsung, went back to the LG)







Hooked up to my computer via an HDMI/DVI cable

 



Logitech Z-5500 THX 5.1 Speaker System hooked up to my computer (used mainly for watching movies on HDTV)




Rear Surround Speakers hooked up to a Rocketfish wireless kit








Computer equipped with a Lite-On Blu-Ray Drive (practically a steal for $150)



To play the following Blu-Ray movies I recently purchased. I tried to buy a wide variety of movies to take full advantage of my setup.







Current System Setup:
Sony 2.1 Speaker w/ Subwoofer
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ w/ bigass fuckin heatsink/fan
ASUS M32N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
Abit Airpace Wi-Fi Card
Samsung 226BW 22'' Monitor
Razor Diamondback Mouse
eVGA 8800GTS 512MB Video Card
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Sound Card
Medusa Home Edition 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones w/ Mic
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick
Lite-On Blu-Ray Drive
LG 18x SATA DVD-RW Drive w/ Lightscribe
4 GB Patriot PC2-6400
2 x 300 GB Seagate SATA/300 HD's
700W PSU
Windows XP Pro & Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit



For those of you who didn't do the smart thing and save, what did you get?

My car windshield has been cracked to within two inches of each side for almost a year now; it only gets worse during summer. So I figure i sould get that fixed. Only problem is it'll be just about most of my return to do it.

but I just found out my three roommates are skipping out on me once the lease ends, which happens to be three months earlier than any of us believed, so I may just end up having to spend all of it on rent till I find new roomies, or security deposit + etc. costs for a new place.

Fuck this shit.

Paying off my deductible from having my car broken into.  The rest will go into replacing stolen items.  I got a fairly nice return.

Sucks spending your money on shit you already had, but some jerkoff decided he liked enough to steal doesn't it?

My return was $34.  I planned mine so I have it all year instead of an interest free loan to the government.

I wish I had the discipline to save money like you, oh well I'll just enjoy my Blu-Rays in HD.

1,322 from Federal, another 300 from state.

...plus another 1k from my GI Bill, your tax payer dollars at work :-)

State income tax, roflamo.  This is Texas.  You do not get away with that crap.
