Is that the thermaltake Volcano 9+? I bought my PC one of those for its Christmas and they really are rockin (My CPU is now cooler than my HDD).

As for what I got: a few soundtrack CDs, 128MB of soDIMM, a spindle of CDRs ( nice

) and some new tops. My parents were going to buy me an MP3 player, but couldn't decide which one, so gave me the money to go buy one for myself...
I'm thinking of the 20GB Archos multimedia player, the one that plays semi-ghetto divx; anyone know if it's worth it?

I didn't get much this year. Only downside of having parents who DID NOT get divorced is you don't get near as many presents. Reason I say this is I watched my 4 of my cousins get buried in presents this year. Anyways I got

Some shirts
Crazy Taxi GC
Final Fantasy Tactics (I think my aunt forgot to bring the presents over

)
Castlevania HOD (Love this game. Could almost make love to it!!)
Lord of the rings SE (The 4 disc version)
200 pack of CD-R's
2 way radios (2 of them)
phone card
New watch
2 months of free cable internet ($60)
$50

That isn't that bad actually, but My cousin got about $500 worth of stuff. Its ok though there actually isn't that much I want right now. Well anything within reasonable prices of course.

well if you've got 400$ go for it -_- but I got the regular one with mp3 playback and recording... it's really sweet..

MetalGearRay · Post by **MetalGearRay** » Thu Dec 26, 2002 2:39 am

I got:
Timesplitters 2 (PS2)
GTA: Vice City (PS2)
Doom 2 (GBA)
Smackdown: SYM (PS2)

TS2 is great! I'm only on Planet X right now, though, I can't figure out what to do next.
Vice City is excellent. In time, I will have memorized the maps, just like I did for GTA 3, but for now, I'm a n00b again. I love the radio stations, Michael Jackson kicked ass back in the day. Now he's just some has-been, throwing babies out windows.
Doom 2 is a great port. Just the way I remembered it on the PC. The music sounds great! The framerate drops slightly in big levels like the Crusher, but it doesn't really matter.
Smackdown. Smackdown. Smackdown. What can I say? I love it. The CAW is great. The season is great. The graphics are great. I really haven't gotten a chance to play it too much, but I like it so far. I made a Darth friggin Vader CAW. In what other wrestling game can you play as Darth friggin Vader? NONE! There's only one thing so far that I can pick on: I made a CAW, gave him the NWO entrance, music, and video, so everything was supposed to be in black and white, but my CAW was in color! LMFAO!

Great stuff.

Man, these Archos disk players are damn good! Surprisingly, mine was packed in with a set of 'phones that didn't utterly suck (shock, horror); I now need to get the camera addon but I think I can get it reasonably cheaply.
