Just remembered that I want an SSD and wanted a new sound card, but I dread having to haul my P183 out of its hole under my desk. Having to go inside is another nightmare altogether. Then I have to reinstall windows... *shudders*

Been trying to figure this out the last few days. Made enough last week to cover whole months bills and rent. I have pretty much everything tho lol.

Think I'm going to put my Transformer up on ebay, and buy the T2 if it's significantly better.

Rockford Fosgate shallow sub and pair of 6x8 speakers for my truck and maybe a new 4-channel amp.

Edit: Also would like a 16gb microSD card, but I'm getting along fine with my 8gb.

why reinstall?

Haven't done enough research on the full process, but as someone said, I'd like Windows on it with a full clean install.

If there be programs that help to avoid that, I'd still prefer the "clean" install for peace of mind.

Been thinking about an Android tablet, doubt I'll get one.
Been thinking about a new HTPC, doubt I'll build one.
Could use a new TV, doubt I'll get one.
Been looking at A2DP mp3 players to stream music to my motorcycle helmet, may get that.
Been looking at COD Black Ops, will get that. Probably get MW3 next year at this time.

The mirror programs are a pain in the ass anyway. And sometimes you end up with a misaligned image. Honestly it's so quick and easy to reinstall W7, I don't know why you wouldn't just do it.

I'm researching printers as we speak.

I'm downsizing my home office. I currently have a cheap all-in-one color inkjet and a cheap b/w laser. I'm going to replace them both with a nice quality all-in-one color inkjet (I was gonna go laser, but they're just too big/expensive for my home office).

Probably an LG Optimus V. If not, wait for those ARM7-powered smartphones early next year. For christmas I'll try to finish my current build, and get a ThinkPad X120e for college.

are you gonna buy it for him or what?

if you have a seagate or western digital hard drive you get a free version of acronis which is just fine for cloning drives. and there's a bunch of freeware cloning software.

Everything I need to buy is not technology related. Golf equipment, engagement ring, clothes, shoes and so on. It was going to be about 8 2TB Seagate drives and a NAS, but not with the price hike.
