Items not shown - 2 computers - Gaming/Server

Gaming - 2400+ AMD, 9700 pro overclocked, 1 gb corsair xms pc3200, audigy 2, 60 gb, sexy case and etc

Server - 1600+ AMD, geforce 2, 320 mb pc133, 200 gb

also a lot of my money is sunk into clothing (im a whore for polo shirts)....but im not going to take a picture of my wardrobe

tons of gaming systems/games...you name it i most likely have it

membership to a gym (New York Sports Clubs)

Things ive thought of buying:

6800gt/x800xl - good possibility

Klipsch Promedia Ultra - Another good possibility

Canon EOS Digital Rebel - already own a camera and dont feel i need any better quality then what i have now

watercooling - was going to get the exos....but i really cant benefit from anything

Projector - too expensive to replace bulbs, not worth the trouble, my room is too small

Books - i could find a bunch of great books to buy (MCSE, CCNA, fiction, nonfiction etc)

laptop - prob could use one?

dvd rw drive - (most likely going to buy this regardless of the other major purchases)

flat panel monitor - theres really no reason i could justify buying this except to save space....i have a nice monitor right now so i doubt this will happen

mpeg2 encoding pci card - ive really been wanting to make a pvr so i could record shows off tv (mostly history/discovery/military channel shit)

keep in mind im leaning towards ELECTRONIC things....but all suggestions are welcome. also post some electronic gadgets which you enjoy just for fun :>

edit: no goth shit d3

I'd go with the video card for these new games. I love my new computer and video card. Things look so damn pretty. I'm going to buy 7.1 sound as soon as I get money. Maybe buy a nice plushy executive chair?

Screw the 6800gt, just shell out for one of the ultras.

Also, Dell 2001FP 20.1" monitor(s) = a must.

I'm planning on splurging on a 6800 ultra and 2 2001FPs, this summer, possibly an Aeron chair as well... the 'smaller' monitors mean I could finally move to my better desk and I doubt this easy chair would work well there

I'm quite happy with my Dell Inspiron notebook... got it about a year ago and it quite handily can run 1024x768 UT2K4 and Halo quite solidly. Actually used it at a LAN once since I was too lazy to drag my system and one of the hulking 20" monitors to go with it

I also have a few-years old set of ProMedia 5.1s. I got the kinda faulty batch at first but got them replaced without too much hassle and aside of that have had fantastic use of them for almost 3 years. Definitely would recommend their equipment .

Normal price, yes, but they go on sale every week for up to a couple hundred bucks off. They drop down as low as $600 or so.

You were the one looking to spend money, so there's a great way to spend a lot of money.
