$25 giftcard @ best buy: what to buy?

[merkwannabe]

So.... Maybe a few fans to help prevent my computer from overheating.. and?

Any reccomendations? Oh and I'm not all that thrilled with the idea of buying PK or even Doom3.. :eek:

I was thinking of buying Windows XP, (since I can only do a recovery on my computer and since it didn't come with any discs), but I don't think that's fair since I paid for a computer with XP on it, I should get the XP disc!!! :bawling:

I realize that it would take much more than $25 for XP and Doom 3!

i imagine someone could hook you up with xp, since really you do own the thing....
otherwise $25 won't get you too far.... look at the sunday flyers and see what they have on sale that you maybe need...

indeed like $125 maybe (if you get windows xp home edition ;) and doom 3 )

Don't buy doom3 or pk, reserve HL2. =O

lol.. Thanks for the advice all. Do you think HP would send me the discs, considering I own it and probably have a serial key somewhere on or in my computer?

If you have a Windows sticker on your computer with a valid cd key on it, have your friend burn a copy of xp or just borrow his disc to install it. Next time, build your own computer as that bundle and restore crap sucks with name brand computers.

Well as long as they're putting out a quality multiplayer game i think they've dooin a good job.
And i think HL2 will be alot better then Doom 3. :thumbs:

i am sure most anybody would if you ask nicely.... you may be sol with hp tho....I know, but I would rather have the real deal since I techniqually own it. I wonder if a new version of Windows will be out soon, XP has been here for quite some time! (Mac has new versions every few months!) :p:

Oh, wait sorry I forgot you are from California where they actually thought that Mac's were going to catch on. :P

Well, I don't have a mac! A long time ago that's what we had and that's why I was uber suprised when I found out what forums and MP games were.

Metal plate? It's plastic, look who's the silly one now!
