What would you buy if you had $10k

[johnee]

I would buy 2 fully loaded 17" mbps, full pro versions of Logic and FCP, and a cinema display

but i would wait for leopard and the mbp updates

 

[killmoms]

At the moment I'd combine that with the "much less than $10K in cash" I have and get a used BMW.

 

[Killyp]

I'd buy myself a second Alesis Firewire Desk, some nice mics, a decent PA, a nice midi controller etc...

All recoring gear, plus a nice pair of B&O BeoLab 3s...

 

[dartzorichalcos]

I would buy a Blue-ray drive, Final Cut Extreme (if it comes out) and a 30" Cinema Display.

 

[bartelby]

Well I have about $50K but it's all going on an extension for the house.
I may be able to squeeze a 17" iMac in.

 

[mrgreen4242]

Hm, assuming that you mean if I had $10k for computer stuff...

Mac Pro
4gb RAM (4x1gb)
2x500gb HDD
2xSuperDrive
x1900 512mb
2x24" ACD
WiFi/BT
-------
$6620

Also, for the wife...
24" iMac
+2gb RAM
--------
$2175

MacBook, 2ghz model - $1300

Which puts me about $95 over $10k, but I could get all of it with EDU pricing, or refurb a lot of it if I had to get to exactly $10k.
