How do you treat yourself? [clean]

[JimmyWong]

Before you buy all that nice shit, treat yourself to a break. As hard as it sounds!

3 day holiday.

hey bro is that asus mx279h ..?? hows this monitor ... ?? worth the money or not ...

It is the MX279 (not sure if there is an H or not). It has audio by Bang & Olufsen which is pretty nice for speakers on a monitor. I have Altec Lansing speakers and a 7.1 Steelseries headset though so it doesn't really get used. I got the monitor on sale for roughly $400 Canadian. Probably could have got it cheaper but I urgently needed to replace one of my other screens.

This is hands down the best screen I have ever used. I have 24" Asus screens on either side that don't hold a candle to it. The picture quality is absolutely unreal. I wasn't getting the most out of my graphics card without this screen. Games are AMAZING on it as well I was drooling when I first bought it.

If you have the money - GO FOR IT! I was going in for another 24" monitor but my buddy convinced me to go big. I am very very glad I did.

No amount of money is worth sacrificing your personal health so I have made many purchases related to this. This has to be my favorite tho:

Throw in 1 green apple, 4 pieces of celery, 3 carrots, 1 cucumber, 1 squash, some broccoli, some leafy greens, squeeze a lemon and you're good.

Yeah dude, that's awesome. We were buying smoothies, but thought we could do better ourselves, so we've been doing fruit in the blender on a regular basis, but I want to scale up to include greens. For that, I need a proper juicer. There are so many juicers to choose from...are you happy with this model/brand?

I have to smoke a good cigar at least twice a week. I'm still kind of in the learning stage of figuring out what cigars best suit me but there hasn't been a whole lot that I've smoked that I didn't like. A really fresh coffee and a cigar sitting on my back patio does it for me. Average price of my cigars is about $15 per stick which isn't too bad.

I travel once a year to buy a tailored suit. I remember the first time I bought a suit it was for $900 at this place called Joseph A Bank or something. It was a total fucking rip off but at the time, I thought I was the shit. It was even "tailored" after I bought it. It wasn't until I traveled to New Dehli to Vaish at Rivoli and got a couple very nice suits made for $1100 (it was $900 USD but I gave an extra $200 per suit) now I order at least one a year because the quality is awesome. I recommend everyone get a custom tailored bespoke suit at least once in their life.

Ha ha...yes. Jos. A. Bank is who you're referring to, aka 'The poor man's Brooks Brothers', but they still aren't cheap. Some of their line is ok, but I also paid a fortune for one of their suits when I was a young upstart in the financial services industry. The tailoring was as expensive as the suit! I agree, bespoke is the way to go.

Recently I bought a website with a lot of reviews.

Today someone is sending me a pair of Cazal sunglasses, a pair of sneakers and two pairs of Monster earbuds to review... If this continues, companies will pay for my treats in the future

I really enjoy dental floss gadgets that I use to clean my teeth when behind the pc. Good food is a must. Exercise/sports is also an area that always needs attention.

We have a friend who used to do reviews for women's toiletries...she would get tons of stuff from up-market and niche brands for review...review sites are not a bad idea...brb, creating a 'Supercar review' site... ;-)

Yeah usually you want to pay attention to the digits after the first because that is just the generation indicator. I personally use the Sapphire 7970 and it handles any game without any problem at all. It cost me $700 when I bought it but I'm sure it's less expensive now.

I honestly don't know a ton about video cards, my buddy went shopping with me and gave his advice on all the pieces. I don't do a lot of photoshop but my system handles CS6 no problem.

I'm using Crossfire V Republic of Gamers Motherboard, Sapphire 7970 3gb graphics card, 8 core 3.9ghz (overclocked) AMD CPU, 8gb Ripjaws X RAM, 256GB Solid State Drive. There is much more to the system like a Noctua CPU Cooler, 3 additional 2TB hard drives and whatever else. It runs like a dream .

Razer Black Widow Ultimate keyboard, Razer Ouroboros mouse. 2x24" screens and the 27".

Yeah I'm extremely happy with it. This was a more expensive model but it well worth it. Here's the amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Omega-J8004-Nutrition-Commercial-Masticating/dp/B001RLYOEE

I did a decent amount of research before purchasing and I really suggest getting something like this because it preserves a high amount of nutrients (which is why you get the damn thing anyway). If you have some more questions or anything feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to help.

They're definitely not dirty, so?

Mangoes make me happy! A relative just brought us a box of these uber-amazing magnoes from India (not sure what the brand is but people were 'ooh-ing and ahh-ing') anyway, they tasted like mango mixed with a hint of coconut...I didn't even cut them up properly, but stood over the kitchen sink eating them like a starving man...

The mangoes of Pakistan are the world famous especially from the city "Multan". As I live in Pakistan they are not so expensive but don't know about the USA. You should try them - the sweetest mangoes on the planet.

My biggest treat to myself was buying a nice watch.

But my favourite luxury after a hard days work is an Indian take away and a beer
