$5000 to spend....


....Bad news is I got laid off... Good news is I got a nice check for unused vacation time. I'm putting most of it towards a rainy day, but if I were to spend $5000 of it on "improving" my system, how would it best be spent? Is there one component that should be upgraded? Or, should I divvy up the money and put it towards a couple of components? Of course, there are those 2003 Bordeaux and Sauternes futures to consider.. :-)

Actually, save your cash ... it may take longer than you think to land a new gig. You have a really nice system ... now you have some extra time to enjoy it. If you MUST spend the money ... wait until you land a new gig and then, take off an extra month before you start. The $5 G's (actually $10 G's pre-tax) will pay for an extra month's worth of mortgage, utilities, food, something nice for your wife, and some new CD's/records. I have walked this same road 3 times since 1980 ... it's less fun each time.
