What to buy with $500..

Upon payday on Friday I'll have about $1600 in my pocket. I figure I want to buy myself something, but I'm not sure what. I think I'm choosing between..

1) 17" LCD monitor
2) PSP
3) Partial money for Laptop
4) Good set of Headphones

I don't really really need 1), I have a working monitor (17" CRT) but I think I'd want an LCD for the fun of it. PSP would be nice but I'm not that much of a gamer... I see it as a waste of time these days.

I'm thinking about a Laptop, but I don't have a huge use for that either, however it's tempting because I think about why I should get a 17" LCD when for a bit more I could get a fully functional wireless laptop with a 15" LCD...

As for headphones my EX71SLs just broke and I have no faith in high-end headphones anymore... so I was going to get a pair of $10 Sonys with a 1yr warranty, or I could blow it on Shure e3c's or something like that.

I have a 256MB mp3 player which suits me fine, runs weeks with one battery and is lighter than an Ipod.

Or should I just throw it in a GIC?
 
get the LCD. if you dont have much use for games, why do you need another computer? the PSP isnt worth $ IMO. the LCD is the best choice, but i would get a 19" or 21". 17" is ok, but if you have $500 to blow, you could get a bigger one.

I can wait a year or so. 🙂

Thing is, I don't know if a 19" or 21" is worth it.. really, it's like $150-200 more, I could buy a new video card or memory with that money.
