I'll start this off.

Me I'd like the following:

This is what I'd want for XMAS(I'd want 4-EVGA Hybrid Cooler GTX 980 400-HY-H980-B1-14-998-102R),
that and a GTX980 video card:

(Compatible Cards: 04G-P4-1980-KR, 04G-P4-1982-KR, 04G-P4-2980-KR, 04G-P4-2982-KR)
or even a GTX980 that has only 1 fan on the rear of the card, this is known as a Reference Card.

1. EVGA Hybrid Cooler GTX 980 400-HY-H980-B1-14-998-102R

I know this is out of stock at Newegg and at EVGA, but it can be found on ebay and elsewhere, like maybe on Amazon.

http://www.evga.com/products/Product.aspx?pn=400-HY-H980-B1

2nd choice? An EVGA GTX 980 Hybrid card

3rd choice? An EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid card

4th choice? An MSI SeaHawk GTX 980 Ti Hybrid card

This is just for wishes, since I know none of this is coming My way this soon. Sigh.

I already have it because I looked long and hard to find happiness. Now I am working hard to give others the same. I can't do it for everybody but by christmas many will have happiness or at least peace of mind from the efforts I started in May. This was a gift that money couldn't buy but one that I could give.

Many don't appreciate it but I have walked around with a smile on my face for over 30 years and it's one of the greatest pleasures in the world.

A winning lottery ticket would be a nice start. Not only would I help myself, but my friends also.

Well I don't have a gf, though I do have a female acquaintance, though since She is 59 and I'm 55, I doubt it's going anywhere.

And yes, She does like Me, She had surgery on one eye to see better, in December She's supposed to have the other eye worked on.

@ Steve: I like the lottery ticket idea.

My one wish for the best X-Mas gift EVER would be to find in the driveway, one:

1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7, hardtop, FULL Vinyl Top, with 351 Cleveland 2bbl, and FMX Automatic Transmission. (Fully loaded with factory/dealer options, including A/C.)

Vin to start with: 3F93H5...

Model to be built from the early 73 Models; preferably built in Oct. of 72...

Color: Wimbledon White, with Ginger Interior and matching Ginger top.

Condition: Very Good, or better. Original Engine, (rebuilt original is fine), original Transmission. (Rebuilt original is fine.)

Been there. Have a Rolex President and my girlfriend was a supermodel. [You forgot the Ferrari.] But cars and people age. The watch still works, but I don't use it much. At least not the real one.

What would I want, besides a new yacth, is truth and reason. So many people are blinded by lies. I detest how politial cadidates twist the truth for thier own end. How religion is used to motivate the masses. I would want chrismass start to beam it's light and touch the minds of me allowing them to see beyond the dogma of religion and politics. Let each see that we are all the same. Let each respect the other.

Talking cars, the one I'd like to have back is the 1964 Chevelle Malibu convertible I bought from my friend Terry in 1973. Loved that car, but had to leave it home when I was sent to Hawai'i in 1975. My brother destroyed it coming home from work as an ag mechanic - one minute he was alone on the highway, next he was about to merge into the back-end of a flat-bed truck. Didn't find out about it until January 1976, when I came home on leave after West-Pac deployment. Glad he wasn't seriously hurt, but still.....

Definitely the sole winning ticket for a huge mega lottery.

Then I could retire and have time to do all those things I keep saying I would do if I could find enough time.....

Yes, that would be lovely. For all to recognize that, flawed and imperfect though we be, we are still worthy of love, respect, and fair treatment. Christ's 11th Commandment - Love your neighbor as you do yourself, treat others as you would have them treat you. If we could all do that, the world would be a much better place.
