If you guys had an extra cool grand what would you buy? :)

I have a very selfish motive for asking this. I have an extra grand or so in the bank at the moment and would like to spend some of it before I have to submit my info to the Financial Aid peeps. I've already bought a second hard drive for my PC and am considering other components as well, but I don't want to limit myself! I need options for cool things!

So again: if you had an extra grand, what would you buy?

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig TV, Surround Sound System, hooked up to a DVD player, and my stereo. Plus, a really big, comfy, leather reclining chair to sit on and watch it all. :D

That comes out at roughly $1000, depending on who I order from.

I'd visit a certain little Lupine and bring her cool stuff.

Seriously though? I'd prolly save some and invest the rest.

I would update my computer. New motherboard, so I can use the Radeon I purchased last month, two new Seagate hardrives (quiet!), and a new power supply. edit: Yeah, more RAM too.

Still plenty of dough left over after that though, so I would spend the rest on a Les Paul Custom. White with black accents.

512 megs of RAM and put the rest away.

I thought he was asking what to spend it on, so he didn't have to report it as income. Wouldn't putting it away defeat that purpose?

Unless you're saying you're willing to report it as income. Heh.

I've already got a gig of RAM in my machine that's at the fastest speed the hardware will allow it to operate at.

I think the question meant "If you had an EXTRA COOL GRAND after paying all your bills, what would you spend it on, if you HAD to spend it."

I could be wrong.

I'd still buy a puppy.

A horse...if I had any left afterwards, I'd buy tack for it!! :)

I may reserve the option to change my mind

Ruger Vaquero .44 magnum revolver for $450

I'll take 2 of these, and put the remainder down on a gun belt :cool

Oh SPARE grand? Question is easy

$750 goes to a Whiteline handling kit for the Forester. $250 goes to a Turbosmart boost controller and boost guage. Money left over for entry fee of WSID to shut up a few bro's who want to see the XT on the 400.

You're bad at math, Mark.

Oh. Extra. 512 MB RAM, Athlon XP 3200, DVD-R, and a Radeon x800 stupid fast edition. Spend the rest on cars. I guess.

Wavemaster, chin-up bar, and martial arts lessons for as long as the rest of it lasts.

Put it down to buy a belt-driven blower for the '79 Ford Ranchero GT we have.

Completely extra, as in not-to-be-used-for-anything-necessary-for-living? Hmm...buy, in this order until the money ran out: a scanner, a music-writing computer program, an animation lightbox, a pennywhistle, and an Irish flute.

Actually, knowing myself, I'd probably stick it in the bank and be very afraid to spend it. I'd still buy the scanner, though.

*feels incomplete without a scanner...sniffle*

Get my POS car fixed. Or a plane ticket. Either one.

If cash allowed, I would buy other people plane tickets to, and whatever left would go toward recreational activities (drinking)

What's a belt driven blower?

In that case, I would buy Jehova A pro force B, cuase he's over boosting something nasty. Marc you can get redy to add anouther 13B to the blown up list. I'd spend the rest on going to berkeley to see my girlfriend before the summers over and I have to go back to school.

One of those HP-boosting super chargers that stick out of a muscle car's hood. Drag racers have them a good many times.

Why call it a blower than? Why not just a super charger?
