$500 to blow... what to get for my computing enjoyment.

Save it.... never helps more during these times...

You do know that it's best to actually SPEND in this economy?

Regardless of space, an SSD.

Yes, I agree with this. There will be a 256GB Samsung SSD very soon, which should even blow the Intel's out of the water

On a side note, I picked up an entry level Bamboo today... very cool.

Nice to hear! How does it work? I am planning on getting one to write notes on in class

It's pretty fun, I haven't had spent a ton of time with it but I jumped into illustrator to see how intuitive it was and once you get used to the tracking, it begins to feel more natural. I'm looking forward to spending more time with it.
