what's your next big purchase?

just wondering what's on everyone's wish list in the near future.
can be anything... a car, house, gadget, clothes, etc.

just bought a C2Q PC so a laptop or this TV is probably my next big ticket purchase.
 
Replacing our carpet with hardwood & travertine. That'll cost around $10k.

Otherwise, bought some artwork by Romero Britto that costed around $100.
 
just bought 260GTX 2 days ago
and dual 2209WA Dell monitors yesterday.

nothing like a car, or anything 😛

Might pick up a few servers though, things seem to be expanding quickly with my little business venture.
 
$100 isn't a big purchase. I don't know about my next one, but I did buy a $500 bottle of Hennessy Paradis cognac last night. I was in a celebratory mood... Tasty stuff.

Actually, my next big purchase will probably be a new computer build coming up in May/June. I met someone who does custom case work, so he's going to design a case for me and I'm going to build a rig to go in it. Should be pretty sweet.
 
80 liner feet retaining wall capstone, 1 Yard of planter mix, 1 yard of shredded cedar mulch, and 0.5 ton flagstone. Maybe $300?
 
No idea. I buy only when I need something and currently I don't need anything. Last thing that I bought was a bunch of bike gear (pump, water bottle, holder and tools) that came close to $100 and before that a number of DSLR lenses/accessories that were much much more expensive. Amazon still has EF 85mm f1.8 lens I ordered 3 weeks ago waiting to be shipped to me (I chose free shipping), I wonder how much of the delay is due to free shipping and how much is due to the fact that I placed an order at $355, and current price is $422. Maybe they are hoping I'll cancel. Fat chance.
 
Well I'm taking my Mom out for dinner for her birthday on Saturday and that will probably be a couple hundred bucks or so for the 2 of us.
