Alright, so for my birthday I received a Samsung Syncmaster T260HD. It's become my media swiss-army knife--perfect for anyone in college who can't afford a nice HD TV and a nice LCD monitor. It's 26", has a contrast ratio of 10000:1, and 1080p support. Right now my Wii, 360, PS3 and laptop are hooked up to it and I couldn't be happier.
Oh, and I got the wireless Logitech Wave keyboard/mouse for $50.00 at costco. And yeah, I bought LBP.
Here are some books I snagged off of half.com for $30 total, shipped. Don't mind the Critical Thinking and Writing nonsense, it's a textbook for an online English class.
I also ordered a few posters off of ebay.
