Ideas to spend 100$ on?

Hey guys, i recently received a 100$ prepaid mastercard from a friend and was wondering what I should spend it on?

Here are a list of things that I already have for my laptop and that are still in great condition

-Logitech G5 gaming mouse
-Notebook cooler
-External Soundcard
-Sennheiser HD 555's
-a bunch of games (no need for new games)
-USB key
-mousepad
-external harddrive


By the way its electronic use only so whatever i have to buy has to be on the net. Im just seeking for suggestions because the money is really just hanging around in my wallet screaming: SPEND ME SPEND ME!

 

Couple of suggestions from me:

1) New printer, or printer ink (you always need that).
2) Backpack or carrying case (definitely consider a SFBag Sleeve!).
3) ShaggyMac keyboard/screen protector.

 

I'd go for the headphones.

 

I think he's got some good ones - he lists what he has.

Is there an expiry date on it?
Because if you ask like that it looks as if you don't need anything...

If you have a spare computer/laptop - what about Windows Home Server

 

one thing that tops my list is the Choiix screen protector/microfiber cloth(duster)/ and mouse mat

Oh, I see, I have to ask what external sound card you have because you didn't list any details about it. As you might be able to tell, sound is something I like to keep top notch when it comes to accessories.

 

get a nice bag

 

if you already have a crappy backpack, definitely upgrade to something better (padding, pockets)

or an external screen?

 

stock market

 

How would you purchase stocks with a master card gift card?

For a hundred bucks, you may also want to consider getting an extended warranty for your notebook if you plan on keeping it for a while.

 

if you use external speakers, a External (dedicated) Soundcard gets my vote.

 

I 2nd and 3rd investing in a nice backpack

-Swiss Gear (Synergy..Wenger..)
-Mobile Edge
-Targus
-Crumpler
-Kesington
etc..etc.

Some nice brands you can get great deals on.

Check amazon.com, and ebags.com!

Thanks for the replies guys. I do already own a very nice backpack (a targus one accually) that a bought around 2 months ago.

An external monitor is something that I would like to avoid because I do not have enough room on my desk anyways.

The soundcard that I currently own is the Creative X-Fi 5.1 External USB and i dont find it that appealing.

And i do not need an external speaker set because I tend to annoy people in the rooms beside me with my music (which is why I got my headphones)

If there are some better performing USB sound cards (or express slot) that I could take a look at it would be great.

Also other suggestions are welcome

 

A good lock if you're a student?

More RAM?

Faster/larger HDD?

 

I'd go with a sound card from Echo, but they're all priced about 100$. They start around 150$ for the expresscard one, or 200 for a firewire one.

 

Will echo indigo benefit me more in games than the Creative X-Fi 5.1 External Sound Card?

Because im looking for a better performing one overall than my current

 

For games I'm not sure if it will, but for music then its better. I used to use a creative xmod and now I'm running the Echo AudioFire2 and I can tell a big difference with both my headphones and speakers. I wont say that it will improve the soundstage of your headphones(although I thought it did with mine) but it did make the bass much more pleasant.

 

here is something new for your list:

mobile broadband module

 

With $100 I'd personally get a GPS device for my car. I've always wanted one but never seem to have the extra money to spend on it.

 

Hahaha i already have a GPS , thanks for the input tho!

I would like to ask to please keep the suggestions notebook related thanks!

 

go to the bar with a few frieds.

 

Give me the money.

 

I agree it would be a good move to extend your warranty. You can also get G9 mouse.
