Me, I'll be buying either a 6800nu or a 6800gt in the beginning of July. Couple that with more RAM and another HD for my music jukebox and I'll be gaming til my eyes fall out.

An X-2, and a Mobo with PCI-e and a PCI-e card of roxorness.

Not for some time yet tho, my current rig is still blasting stuff as it is, and the switch to something like that aint cheap.

I just bought a Zen Micro yesterday so I probably won't be buying anything for a while. My next purchase will probably be another 512mb stick of RAM or another HDD (120 or 160gb).

Intel powered Apple Powerbook sometime next year and maybe a new NEC burner in the close future.

Have a huge purchase coming up in about 10 days. Buying/building two new servers (one on the cheaper side *P4 2.8/1gb ram/200gb hd*) and the other a more robust machine (P4 3.4/2gb ram/750gb HD cap.), both will be built in a 4u case.

Also picking up equipment now for a CCIE lab to study at home with to include:

6 x Cisco 2611 routers, 1 x Cisco 3550 L3 switch (maybe 2), ISDN Sim., a 2523 and 2511 (frame relay and term. server), a PIX 506e (but moving towards the 515, pending further research), and a new 7ft server cabinet.

So yeah I have been putting away money all year for this shopping spree I am about to take, and after this I highly doubt I can justify many more computer related expenses.

Edit: Oh and to all those who might have any of this cisco hardware for sale..shoot me a pm. I am going to start putting bids in on ebay this weekend, so if any of you are letting it go for fair prices I am definately interested.

An Athlon 64 of some variety (plus motherboard), and a new video card to replace the "old" 6800GT. :p

Probably within a month or two.

I'm holding out for a dualcore (or quad by then??) A64 system that uses DDR3 memory, along with a next-gen video card and a 2405fp.

I'll probably buy a new computer around Christmas for STALKER, Boiling Point, Bioshock, and Warren's new game. It'll probably be a A64 3000+, next generation's mid-range video card, 1GB PC3200, a 80GB hard drive, and some Antec power supply.
