I'd go for a modest computer, I would have no use for the latest cutting edge PC. A nice 20" widescreen monitor would be nice. A nice home cinema system would be nice, 60" LCD or whatever they have out now, along with loads and loads of DVDs.

They just keep getting bigger.

I went in a shop a while back, and saw a 60" or maybe a 65" and was just amazed at the size of it. It would take up getting on a whole wall.

Mac Pro done to the top (double 30", etc). New MacBook Pro 15" again done to the top. 32GB iPod Touch with white Incase Slider Case. BlackBerry Pearl Flip, Curve 8900 and Bold 9000 as well. New pair of Bose In-Ear headphones and a pair of Bose On-Ear headphones. SHARP Aquas 65" 1080p LCD TV. Harmon-Kardon surround system and amp. Blu-Ray player, iPod Dock and all the other minor accessories.

Basically the things I can think of off the top of my head. Would be close to $40,000 probably. :x

Service? As in cell phone? I'd only have the one plan ($100-120/month), just popping the SIM into different devices. If you mean by the Macs, I included AppleCare with them.

I don't see how you can get $20,000 in services a year. That's nearly $1700 a month. How did you get that number?

I'd have to say a 48U rack of 32 1U Nehalem systems with a single-slot GeForce 9600GSO, a 32-unit network switch, and a full compliment of UPS's.

I would get:

HTC Touch Diamond V2 (V2 has a slide-keyboard and the phone is Windows Mobile)
Nokia 5800 (just a extra one with the symbian system, which is pretty good

)
A 32GB Micro SD card (to store movies and games from the phone, and a card for the other phone..)

And then a self-built computer with top specifications >:)
And of course, a TV for the computer with a DVI port..

And last, a SLR camera with full set of objectives

( love taking photos

)
