Weekend Open Forum: What's on your holiday agenda?
With frosty weather taunting the northern hemisphere, it's increasingly evident that the holidays are upon us. We've run various holiday-themed Weekend Open Forums in the past, asking what you want for Christmas and what you purchased during Black Friday. This time around, we'd like to combine those subjects into a single post. Are you watching for a particular item to go on sale? What's on your wishlist? Have any special plans for the holidays?
I can't say I hope to receive anything, but the right-click on my trusty Logitech G5 has started failing today, so I guess I'll be shopping for a new mouse in the near future. Julio is eyeing a Kindle Fire and Pro Evolution Soccer 2012, while Steve has his heart set on a new DSLR camera -- preferably the Nikon D7000. As a side note, we should mention that we're working on our usual holiday giveaway, buying guide and list of most anticipated PC games.

I know it's kind of boring but I'm looking for a TV, nice and big, 120hz preferably. |

I have nothing tech-related in my sights, although I wouldn't mind picking up a new pair of sunglasses and some replacement items for my vehicle. |

#1 thing on my wish list: a job! Other than that, on my wish(ful thinking) list... - Win 7 tablet that I can install Win 8 on for experiments > - Some DDR3 1600+ RAM - A suit vest - A couple Kindle books Nothin' else in particular I guess. The things I listed are more things I hope to get myself for super cheap sometime this holiday season, and not at all things I'd expect other people to get me. |

breech said: Well, it was going to be a bulldozer based system but............yeah. lol why? Rooting for the underdog? I've have enough money to buy a proper computer and I'm going all out on a nice sandy bridge system. If I get everything I want it will have i7 2600k HD 6950 90gb - 120gb SSD (I'll use any old hard drive from a laptop or whatever for extra space) Corsair 500r case, is there a more beautiful case available? |

Not to sound too soppy but all I want for Christmas is to spend time with my girls. Right now I'm not too sure how much I'll be able to see them, or even where I will be for Christmas. Kinda hard making plans when I don't know for certain what's happening. Other than that, I'll likely just be grabbing some bargains in the sales for my gaming build. Hopefully I can grab a nice entry eyefinity GPU ready for my everyday computer and if I can get them, some new LED-backlit 22" HD displays to replace my current items - I'd like to go for three 22" models this time, and replace my current 24/22" LG's. |

Well I'm currently computer less so building one I'm waiting for intel x79 chipset to come along, which I heard has been pinned for the 14th, so I can build a system to last. Other than that? Hoping for some new socks |

Not sure. I was originally going to get everyone a funny T-Shirt but figuring out sizes is going to be a *****. I also got fired a few weeks back so conserving money will be a priority. I was going to get a WinPhone..Phone for myself but not sure if I should. |

Just spend time with the family and gain a few more pounds. Might knock the dust off the X58 rig and install some upgrades I haven't gotten around to for months. Other than that, wishing I had planned a trip to Denver to spend some time with my daughter. She just started a new job and won't be able to make it home for the holidays |

I'd like a tablet. Or to ship over my computer from home. |

I might get generous and hand out £50 for a new HDD. Windows won't get off my back about space, so i think i'll just give in. Other than that, because i'm not a 'holiday' type of person, I may have to completely blank it out in front of some PS3 games...Saint's Row: The Third should kill a week, I'll probably start with that. |

Aside from spending time with my family, I guess Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 will be taking up a lot of my time assuming of course that the pair of EVGA GTX 580 SC cards that I ordered finally arrives. Several of my favorite authors are also releasing new titles in the 4th quarter so I'll also be busy reading my new hardcover novels this holiday season. |

AKG Q701 (green) Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Then to start saving up for a pair of nVidia's next top single gpu cards - probably 680s. As far as family goes we're headed to Colorado for a ski trip. |
