I also already have a gamecube and lord knows I've spent enough on this PC already (although I'm thinking about another hard drive right now since I should finally be getting a broadband connex w'in a couple months), but let me suggest, even if it does draw some flames, that you might think outside the box a bit and consider what other things $300 (or in some cases about $500, so save a little more) or so might buy you ....
BTW I have no idea how old you are so I apologize if any of these suggestions might be inappropriate....
--- a decent wristwatch
--- a nice suit (youre gonna need at least one)
--- a very nice pair of brand name dress shoes (use sparingly)
--- a Ruger MkII or 2245 target pistol
--- a quality .38 special/357mag revolver
--- a Rem 870 12 ga. pump shotgun
--- a Glock (ok, you'll need almost $500 for that)
--- 6 more gamecube games!
Sorry if the emphasis on firearms freaks you out. 10 years ago it would have me, but I wish now I had taken some of the money I flat out wasted in my twenties and invested in some basic self-defense hardware. Now that I'm married and have made a (very expensive) kid, it's tough to scrape up that kind of spare cash. Plus, my wife doesn't "like" guns, but if we ever had a burglar she'll be very happy I do have a few of the items I listed above. If you don't have any and you think what I'm saying makes sense, then start out with the 2245 pistol .. it's only .22 caliber and you can practice with it for very cheap. If you think I'm nuts, that's ok too. Just remember there are other things in life that require cash.
Oh and even though I hate M$ I also vote Xbox.:innocent:

i have everything you listed except for all those guns
Other things would be helpful on what to blow my money on I've saved enough, except $350+ items would probably not be something i'd be getting anytime soon dvd burner=$266 though...seriously thinking about that
gamecube going down?! since when did it get modded? not that modding it kills the system, BUT could definitly lead to an early ending if handled like the dreamcast
Might end up getting x-box, just cause i've heard the rest of the shenmue series IS going exclusive to the x-box, so far, i can't really see any ps2 games, USA games that is, that are good, unless someone wants to make a list of the good ones

What's that...?
nobody was asking about the gamecube Faerin, it's responses like that people don't want to hear...anyways, i vote ps2, its got masses of games...to just list a few of my favorites...tony hawk 3, metal gear solid 2, madden 2003, gta3...also, not to 'dis the xbox controller, because i've never used it, but i just love the ps and ps2 controllers, they fit so comfortably in your hands.

Josep said:(P.S. I already have a gamecube
just because people never read the initial thread in polls. I'm surprised at the results so far,
question:
Doesn't it seem like x-box will buy out all the good gaming companies and will therefore give it pleanty of potential in the future(like next year
??? x-box also plays divx movies, soo yea, multiple movies on one dvd-r of course
adi
get out of my house
honestly, id keep my money and wait for the xboxes position to become more definite (its doing absolutely CRAP in Japan and its europe sales aint too hot either). Don't get a PS2, I just feel its an overrated machine if you have a PC (which u can play a better version of GTA3 on). in fact the only MUST have games which ive seen on the ps2 are tekken 4 and mgs 2 but honestly I can live without them. Besides, soul calibur 2's coming out for the gamecube. I CANT WAAAAAITTTTTTT ANYMORRRRRRE
