Just purchased a pile of lovely stuff myself:
DAMNNNNNNNMMMMMM!!!!! youve got quite the computer there! what os do you plan on using? 7 Or 8?
Plus i also think cotts has that same case for his pc.
Just waiting for it all the arrive now so I can get building, can't wait. Monitor is here and it's a total beast! I'm just going to use W8. I don't love the metro feel but I've had no probs with 8 on my laptop and I'd rather keep things as up to date as possible.
The case is a monster haha. I thought I'd go big as the H100i needs some serious space and I'll be ordering a second 980 in a month or so. Cooling is great by the looks of the reviews I've read.

Yeah I had heard something along those lines, no idea if it's actually happening! At the very least it'll hopefully be a cheap upgrade or something.

Windows has a pattern of making shit stuff and good stuff.
Windows XP Was a success and windows Vista A Failure
Windows 7 Was another success and 8, lots of people didnt like that start menu. Lets hope the best for the upcoming version of Windows

Our eldest is having his 6th birthday in about a month, and I thought it'd be cool to buy him his first ever piece of vinyl.
So he's getting "The Prodigy - Fire" as both our boy's keep demanding it on the school run in the car!
along with that I ordered a couple of pieces to take advantage of the cheap postage from the discogs seller.

despite all that, postage was still only ?3.10 TAKE NOTE DISCOGS/EBAY SELLERS :P

I just bought an entry level SLR. It's a Nikon D3200, with an 18-55mm VR II Lens (I don't know what that means).
I plan on using it to take ultra crisp photos of people PWOPA fcuked up at HTID ITS.
Might as well try and get paid for it or get some incentives. They regularly have photographers walking around taking pics of all you shitfaced people ;)

I bought a new car. I bloody hate cars. It cost a stupid amount of money, and I'm not saying that as in "ooo look at me spending so much on a car" because I would consider ?200 spent on a car too much, I hate the things...to me they're like bills, because that's all I see them as.
Some people enjoy sticking some new piece of junk in their engine like I would enjoy putting a new cd on my cd shelf. But ****, our last car just kept breaking, and I kept having to feed it cash. It was like buying a new mug, and seconds later watching it smash on the floor, walking back in and buying the same damn mug, and the same thing happening...over and over and over.
If it was a new cd on my shelf, great, but I don't like sticking money in a car. Sticking money in a car to me, might as well just be burning it.
The car we had before kept taking my money, the car we had before that kept taking my money also, this new car is new, or at least very close to new, and it's not a Peugeot or a Renault so hopefully it won't be a gold-digging troll.
I'd ****happily*** live without a car, but my wife is disabled, I have two kids and I don't live on an island...

The only way you would ever be able to survive without a car is if you lived in the city instead of the middle of nowhere. Once you are out in the country, a car is a necessity. Or in your case, living with someone with a disability that relying on public transportation would not be very convenient. I hate cars as well, and because I have a slight fear of driving I've never learned how to drive one. I manage to do fine without it, but our public transportation sucks so bad I actually wish I lived closer to the center, or in a city like Toronto who has far better public transportation.

or if you live on an Island, if I was back on Scilly there would be no need for one. 3 miles by 2 miles can just walk or ride a bike!

This depends highly on the country, but IMHO car is never a necessity for healthy people. If you live in the middle of nowhere, worse case is you need a bicycle to get to the bus stop. Taxies are there for when you really need a car. Personally i bought my apartment close to the my work place so i don't need to use a bus, that's what people used to do, live close to their work place.
EDIT: Oh and i bought that same display that Audio Warfare bought. Also bought a bicycle helmet, that one:

Yeah, with our roads, I wouldn't go near them with a bike - I trust neither myself, nor drivers, I'd like to stay alive long enough to see my kids at least finish school! lol.
If I was back on the Islands, I'd happily ride a bike. At the moment it's 7 miles of horrid roads and traffic, not to mention the near constant rain in the lake district. Bus links out here in the sticks are useless and expensive.
I would give my right leg to be able to go back to the days when I cycled to school, 3 miles each way on empty country roads back on the island and then spent the whole weekend cycling all over.
That said, riding a bike with one leg is probably kind of tricky.
