-Mac Mini?
-Newer Computer? (current box is a 2600+, but I am NOT a gamer AT ALL, so I really don't need anything faster)
-Media Center PC? (I already have 2 tivos)
-LCD (I am still on CRT's)

What should I buy?

Oh come on just save it if you don't really need anything. Your kids might need braces some day.

Actually, I change my answer, I think you should just go with an MCE box. I know you like hacking stuff. If you think fiddling with Tivos is fun, MCE is 10x better. There are new plugins and hacks everyday to change and tweak it. The sky's the limit! I :heart: mine. I just want somebody to hack it so that the skip works like Tivo's (has that little "margin of error" so when you stop ff or rew, it clicks back a few secs).

You can get a nice bandsaw and some good wood, then you can make something of yourself :p

This is why so many Americans are in such piss-poor financial situations.

To quote a King long dead. Everything is meaningless.

Wow, what's that, about $2 per tooth for each of the 60? :D And don't forget your pipe, in case she accidentally breaks hers.
