Aaron C-T Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 So yea.. I graduated from high school this Friday and have gotten money and presents and such. I've set aside $75 for spending money, with $25 specifically for music. I've already spent $16 on a 1GB MicroSD for my phone because I could use the extra song space, and I've spent $15 on the new Good Charlotte CD and a few other songs (two of the new Linkin Park songs and two of the Bravery's new songs). I'm going to spend the rest of the $10 that I have set aside for music, but I'd kind of like to find some new bands or something. So any band/song recommendations would be great. I'd also like a modem to put in my room upstairs so I can finally get my X360 online. I was definitely planning on buying it off of eBay or something because it's about $10 cheaper from what I'm seeing. Any recommendations on that would be awesome. I kind of wanted a modem like I have in this room (there's phone line-in) so that I could *maybe* get my Dreamcast online as well.. however I'm not so sure that'd work anyway. So any recommendations on a specific modem would be great as well. As I don't really know much about what kind of cable modem you'd want for a console.

Koray Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 You only need one modem. What you need, is a router. Any WRT54 series linksys router will be fine. You are up jah early by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 No one's home. They went to my aunt's and left me alone. I tried calling people to come over but everyone was being lame. None of the girls were available and I didn't want to have a meatfest going on. So I'm just.. up.. I'm kind of tired actually. But like.. no one's here and.. I dunno. I'm just up. Edit: Aren't routers just as expensive? It'd definitely be easier to just plug a modem in than to find some way to wire everything halfway across the house. And wireless would be out of the question 'cuz MicroShaft is not getting 100 out of me. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 You'd think, but I'm pretty sure you can't use two modems on a single ISP. You have basically no choice except for getting a router and finding some method of reaching. And by the by, you can get a wireless router and PCI card for about 80 dollars.

Aaron C-T Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Andrew: Way to contribute, dipstick. I'm wondering if that's your opinion there, or if you're just echoing that of others. Either way, you're an ass. Nitemare: I'll check it out, thanks. Streak: I have an electric/acoustic guitar, a bass, and two amps. I think I'm okay on that end. I would love to get a hold of like.. a copy of Fruity Loops or something, though. Haha. MaxSonic: I dunno.. I can't get a good enough feel for the songs. The only two that really got my attention were "Bleed it Out" and "What I've Done." Edit: The new Maroon 5 has "Nothing Lasts Forever" listed. Isn't that song pretty hold, I thought that was getting airplay when their first CD came out. Unless, it's like a cover.. or a revised version or something.. anyone know?

shadowgoten Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yea Scatta, if you wanted 2 modems in your house, you would have to pay to have that MAC address go online. If you don't mind having wires going around, then a router is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron C-T Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 SG: It's not so much that I don't want wires going around.. it's just that. That'd be a helluva lot of wire unless I went under the house and wired it through the floor and brought it back up through the garage and into the room above the garage like the cable guy did. Only.. I don't think I could do that. Without like.. completely fecking up the house. 'Cuz I suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LT Worm Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Happy gradumatation! Listen to Slingerland. He knows what he's talking about. You'll get to college, and you'll be wanting to go out on the weekends. Save it up. You might be able to find a 3-month CD at your bank, and hey...that's about 3-5% more money than you had (although after inflation it'll only be like 1-2%). Buy the entire new Linkin Park album. You won't regret it. LIES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I'm assuming that he's of fan of the band, because he said he downloaded two of their songs. I bought the album, and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 The wireless Linksys routers are really iffy... it may just be the old ones or due to faulty firmware though, so I can't say. Koray might be right about the WRT54s. Also: http://www.amazon.com/Siamese-Dream-Smashing-Pumpkins/dp/B000000WJZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have listened to them fairly extensively and have worn them out. Asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
