Assuming you were a good boy/girl this year and you could get any gadget/electronic you wanted what would it be?

For some reason I really want a "beginner" DSLR camera with a couple lenses. I already have a 300x 4GB CF card collecting dust from my SSD experiment a while back. I like photography but with my limited Photoshop skills and not-so-good digital camera (Canon SD1000) I don't take many pictures. Growing up my mother had an old 35MM SLR Nikon that I remember I loved playing around with. I'm content with my computers, I don't need a LED TV (too cheap to buy the Dish Network HD package), and other gadgets I already own or don't need.

<-note avatar

all i want is DiRT2 and a low level 5xxx card.

and maybe the speakers to refurb a speaker box

The wife asked for a list this year with something other than a shirt or after shave so I said how about:

Canon CanoScan LiDe100 (my old HP doesn't work under W7) **Edited....told the wife this one is fine, forget the LiDe200**

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

What I would like to get.....
32" LCD 1080p HDTV, which I plan to use as a monitor/TV

I would like a 5000 series card too, but I would settle for a 48xx series card.

I'm kinda on the same boat as camaroguy...except I'd like 2 more 22" 1920x1080 monitors so I can run some Eyefinity! Ok...and a Sapphire Vapor-X 5870

remember one monitor must have DisplayPort to run Eyefinity!

Very true, I'll have to take a look in to my future investment...of course, if I *do* get that, my wife will probably leave me...but which is the pro and which the con? hahahah

I bought my own present this morning a new flat panel, other then that I want a Zune HD, 5970, Mountain Mods Pinnacle 24 (black swiftech spacing), NFS Shift and Dirt2

Says the guy who already has a flat panel(s), NFS Shift, a pair of 5970's and a Zune HD

but my 19" trinitron wasn't cutting it anymore. Couldn't pass up the 80-some dollar price cut on the panel I got. As for the other "want" stuff, if I'm going to aim, I'm aim'n high

after re-reading my OG post, it looks like I bought all that this morning... not hardly, shouldn't have bought the panel but I couldnt pass it up. Fixed my post to clarify the "want" part

My next monitor is likely just going to be a big TV. I have never gamed at really high resolutions so 1920x1080 should be fine. Too bad I can't afford my own Christmas present this year or I would've probably bought it. Damn you economy and business degree!

I want one of those wireless cell phone chargers!

I want a Samsung Moment - and if I don't get laid off next week, then I'll probably have one after our team announcements.

A curved 43" LCD (or CRVD)

seriously though i'll take anything besides the usually socks, shirts, and shorts i usually get

My wants are not all that spectacularly set too high.

Simply for backups and extra storage, a USB2 Seagate FreeAgent Go 500Gb or higher with the optional dock station would be desired.

32:10 ratio proportionately that is the same height and twice as wide as my 19" (16:10) bluray is prolly messed up on it(the width has bars show instead of height?)

my dad always gets shop tools and flannels lol

a new PSU preferably corsair tx850 or hx850
new graphic card preferably gtx 275 in sli
a new 30" lcd tv

Realistically (the tech exists)
- New GPU (9800GX2 is going to start showing its age eventually, even at 1680x1050)
- New dual 24" 1920x1200 monitors to go with new GPU
- New secondary GPU for secondary monitors (seriously, a 7900GTX as a secondary card can get annoying)

Unrealistic (tech does not yet exist but will in the reasonable future)
- WIRELESS POWER FOR EVERYTHING! (I hate cords)

Honestly, if we could get the wireless technology so that there wasn't a decrease in signal time to the same as being wired in to the system it would be amazing. It's unfortunate about having to have a wired mouse for gaming because of the slight delay it causes when set to higher sensitivities.
