    a HD projector, or a ridiculously large plasma.

    About £4000 on camcorder and accessories. The rest towards my PC to make it into a proper edit suite (i.e. software, 2 extra hard drives and a second monitor). And I'd hopefully have £50 left for a new car stereo.

    The only gadget I'm really after atm, is a new digital camera, and I certainly don't need an overly expensive one.

    Hmm... a new DVD player that actually plays DVD's rather than just die on me would probably be nice. Maybe a camcorder, though I don't know when I'd use it....

    Not sure after that. :) I'm sure I'd have fun spending it though.

    One of those lamborghini laptops.

    Not really. Erm :chin:

    2 of those fast raptors. Sell the 19" screen, get another x1950 (till r600 comes out), dual 32" screens yea!

    They're about a grand each, that should do it. Heh. A wireless surround sound system, don't know about the cost of that though.

    I'd like to get a better pda phone thing, but I don't really know any better than my xda mini s atm. :(

    I'd buy the Sony VAIO VGX-XL100 & the Panasonic Viera TH50PX600B Plasma HD TV. Then send the rest on building a new PC.

    I'm already sorted for a PC - 3.4GHz.

    I would spend £5,000 on some intelligent lighting.
