If you had R150k to spend...
If you had R150k to spend...
...On anything but a car, house, paying off debt, helping others etc.
Simply put, what would you do with 150k that you had to spend on yourself?
I would spend it one this:
Funktion One Infrabass 218 (x2)
Funktion One Resolution 1.5 (x4)
Funktion One FF6000 DJ
Monome 64
Lemur Multi-Touch
Ableton Live DAW
Apoge Ensemble soundcard
Funktion One FF6000 DJ
And one kick-ass PC to go with it :p

Probably use it to travel and build the most awesome computer ever. Use whatever's left over for some fancy stuff. Hard to think up stuff on the spot.

Re: If you had R150k to spend...
I'd get me a Alienware M18x laptop, I like to be mobile so a laptop makes sense to me, and they are kinda good for gaming I believe .
I've also always kinda wanted a fur suit But no idea what it would cost so this would be subject to cost and availability
And then just because I do still drive race cars from time to time some new kit would also be on the shopping list, along with a decent Helmet and Hans combination.
Whats left over would be spent on a few other toys and a holiday.

Re: If you had R150k to spend...
I'd get me a new motherboard + I7 CPU and grab me two DD3 4GB and run them in Duel channel. Then I'd get a second 4870HD and run it in Crossfire with my current. And grab me a nice large screen for using exclusively at home, a new sound card specifically for my 5.1 surround sound. AND A NEW CHAIR. So I can play games in even more comfort than I currently am.
Oh and maybe two 2GB HDDs, a 160GB SSD just for my OS and a 2GB External for moving about.
Then a decent laptop for when I wanna get out and I'm not keen for packing up my PC. Probably a Nexus S since my cell is rather old tech. Depending on how much money I have left I'll upgrade my mouse to a Roccat Cone and store my Razer away for incase my new mouse ever dies. And get myself which ever new Logitech G-whatever is currently out at the time
Hmm... And decent uncapped 4mb internet plox 8D
Maybe I'll have enough cash to afford that for a few years :3

Re: If you had R150k to spend...
yer all such a bunch of NERDS!
I would upgrade my pc to latest greatest spec, get 2 (or more) giant-screen tvs (hd, of course) which I'd hook up to the uber-pc for dual-screening my fps games, have a sofa-and-stand-with-swinging-tray,-cup-holders,-ample-cd-storage-and-massage-function custom made for UBER-COMFORT-OF-EXTREMENESS custom built for the uber-pc, and the rest would go straight to new games I've always wanted. oh and ample art supplies.
GODDAMMIT! looks like I'm a nerd too!

It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, especially if you live near him.
Always be yourself..... Unless you can be a Dragon, then always be a Dragon

Re: If you had R150k to spend...
I would donate the R150k to a friend in need.
edit: if I had to keep it I would get a tail implant.

Let's not forget there's another thread on this forum with a giant robot! New plan.

Re: If you had R150k to spend...
I would quit my current job, move everything Ive got into storidge, cancel any other monthly payments Ive got.
Then get a six month visa to the USA, and volunteer for the Geek Group as long as I possible could before the money runs out renew the visa if possible.
In the hopes of ether opening up a hacker space in South Africa, or get a permanent position there, I like what they stand for.
What is the geek group?
Ps will visit anthro-con while I am there
