1. Spending a good chunk of change on the purchase of a premium product or products when something lesser would serve just as well.
2. Purchasing a few similar premium products, such as 3 or 4 mics or SSD'
s, in order to
check them out, to satisfy a curiosity about the minor differences.
3. Any so-called extravagant purchase which brings pleasure to the mind and pain to the
wallet.
4. Anything done to the max!
Bob: Whoa! Is that the new computer? You built that?? That thing's a
beast!!
Joe: Ya dude, I really went the Full Fo-
Shay on this one. I bought an i7-2600K CPU, 32GB of CAS 7 RAM, an EVGA GeForce GTX 580 graphics card, two OCZ-VERTEX3 MI SSDs so I can run 'em in RAID 0, of course, and a fanless Corsair 80 PLUS Platinum PSU. I stuck all that on a GIGABYTE G1.SNIPER2 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 mobo, then stuck that in a LIAN LI PC-X2000F
Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower case.
Bob: Ha! I see you spared no expense. Hey, what'
s that over there? Is that another computer??
Joe: Oh, that'
s just the AMD equivalent of this one. I'm not really sure what I'll use if for, if anything. I only built it so I could A/B the current top-of-the-line AMD against top-of-the-line Intel.
Bob: Man, I so love hanging with you. Only problem is, now I’ll have to figure out how to explain to my wife all the new parts you've inspired me to buy. She'
s gonna flip.
Joe: Buy her an
iPad at the same time and she won't even notice.
