i used to get tv's, bike's, game consoles, pc's and giant boxes of lego as a kid.

being an only child rules.

There was only one kid in my class that had rich parents and always got insanely expensive gifts, he only had friends for a couple of months until they tried all his toys and got bored.

All I want for Christmas is my family to be happy

All I want for Christmas is affordable airfare home.  And it's likely that I can't have it.  

Now that I think of it, buying computer is too important to be a gift.  It requires too much planning to wisely decide what to get.  It's a major purchase.

Because kids that get everything they want are stupid and annoying, you're living proof.

This *high fives*

When I'm giving gifts I always try to find something that the recipient would use frequently but never buy for themselves. A computer is a stretch because of the obsoletion thing, especially new. In most cases a vibrator would bring more joy under my criteria.

Eat a fucking chode

Buying a prebuilt machine is one of the worst things I've ever done. I find it a lot easier if you just build it yourself. You can get more bang for your buck. I have to build a new PC and it's only going to cost me at most $700 for all the parts (although I already have 2 new monitors). I may even get a new tablet if I have enough money left over.
