If I had the money I would get a modded computer that all the updated things I need and want on it.
I also would buy a High definition dvd player. Thats just some things I can think of as of now.

Oh wait a sec, none of those are devices are they? '___'
Hmpf,.... how boring.... T____T
*trots off to mope*
Assuming unlimited resources, I'd say the upcoming I-Phone.
... And probably a custom laptop that is compatible with any OS and program that humankind has yet to concieve XD
I'd upgrade to an FFL01.
I would also buy an ossciliscope, a butt-in set, and a lifetimes supply of electronic components.
And a good shock tube initiator.
Maybe upgrade my computer, too.
Id but the componets to make a working suit of tactical dreadnought armor.
I am such a geek
I'd buy whatever computer God is using!!!
But if I couldn't I'd have to agree with Laevatein (good choices!)
I'd buy a tempurpedic mattress, because I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in a while. Too long a while. ._.
Possibly a new guitar (depending what kind..), or some pedals or something.
Oh, and an HDTV. =D
I'd consult my brother about the best gadgets to pick. and buy all that there is to pick..hehehe. ;026
well, basically a laptop, cellular, pc, vid cam, still cam, wii, ps3, maybe an xbox 360, home theater stuff,(all high-end stuff) and one of those cool light sabers :) .... oh and maybe an Aibo just for fun hehehe. :/
My first priority is the laptop!
With some specs:
RAM: 2GB+
Hard Disk: At least 1 TeraByte
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo!!
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate (Genuine)
Weight: < 2kg
My sister may like Wii or PS3...
And maybe increase internet speed to at least 3Mb!! O_o
And some OS-tan figures for myself.
(Now I don't have any TT ^ TT)
A desktop replacement portable. They're usually $3-4000 here.
New car. Brand new one, not second-hand that is.
kind alike mine. tho is was 4500 :D
I made out with one for about $2000. 17" monitor, 120 gig HDD, nVidia GeForce Go 7900 ($300 graphics card =x), 1 gig RAM, and an Intel core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz processor. Came with XP Media center, and a free upgrade to Vista, although I'll probably forgo that and buy Vista a year from now after they've gotten rid of the bugs and built up a decent amount of drivers.
well mines conciderably more powerful and its about half a year old now.
Thing is: did you really -need- that much more power? =P
Yes. what the hell kinda question is that? I can have Half-life 2 running on max spec with absolutly no slowage on my TV(being used as a second HD moniter) while doing digital video editing on my laptop moniter and experience no problems with either. I dont even have to look at the system requirements for anything i buy
too much power... no such thing
well yeah but your computer/laptop are overpowered enough as they are brenden XD but of course there's NEVER too much :P
what i'd get:
-best AMD AM2 processor
-motherboard, memory, HDD, etc. to go with the socket AM2
-ICON digital mixing console (don't exactly know the models)
-Near-field studio monitors
-far-field studio monitors
-several arcade machines (preferably from 90s)
that should be about it XD oh and a new car too perhaps lol
Yeah I would get a new car too and also I would get a radio and cable the recieves entertainment from japan like a import Satalite feed.
if i had the money i would get myself a small helo and my pilots licence. maybe even a old huey or something... since im dreaming. maybe a WWII mustang too
When it costs $4500, it's too much. =x Think of everything you could do with just half of that!
...um.. like what?
already have a 360 with like 20 games...
have a bad ass computer...
2 300 disc cd books filled working on another...
i cant think of much i could have done with that money.. expet probobly waste it.

WOW what are you rich
no, not rich. no bills. while other marines were wastefully using their money to eat pizza and drink themselves silly every night, I surfed the net, painted or otherwise did something constructive and free. the result was having plenty of money to buy all the things I wanted.
Nice way to save
seriosly, if your a single marine you medical, insurance, housing, food.. everything is paid for. all you have to pay for is your cable (which i dont get.. i bloody hate normal tv) cell phone and internet. the rest is take home. Most waste it on eating out, drinking, and generaly wasting it. Some might buy stuff for their vehicals.. but im not that type. I could care less about sweet ass rims or that kind of stuff. So i spend it on consumer electronics.. and thus i get long term investments.. versus.. well that other crap. and i dont develop a flat tire around my stomach.
The essential minimalist type, best way to live, no hype, all stuff XD

yeah...well except the personal hypes eh brenden? lol
I choose what I like, I dont let others decide it for me :P
Yeah same here suggestions are good but go with your gut on this one I say
I'd get:
A standard HK36 (probably over $5000)
A Beretta M92FS (probably over $2000)
A Microtech Hawkbill Bladed Full-Auto opening knife (Castello's sells for $500)
A pair of those Predator claws ($?)
A Rapier
A Schiavona
A double edged silver wire wrapped handle dagger
A claymore
A scythe
A pair of gauntlets
A pair of greaves
A suit of full plate armor
A shirt of chainmail
An old '69 Fastback Mustang (price varies upon owners)
A new '07 Fastback Mustang (probably over $25000)
A Viper GTS-R (For my dad which is well over $80000)
A black Kawasaki Ninja
A pair of katars
Much like Capt, theres not a whole lot I really want right now tech wise. I guess I could do with a new computer, this ones kinda on the brink -_- If I had lots of money, I'd just go travelling. My life at the moment is actually geared towards planning for a travelling lifestyle. And I'm going off the point so I'll leave it there. New comp :p
Travelling... not my thing... though I'd like to visit Oregon again and check out the hype at Japan. The place I'd last visit would probably be my home country. Vietnam sucks ass when I went there as a child.
Heh, I got a few of the items on your list.. like the claymore and the suit of plate mail.. but i got chain to go with it and a suit of roman lorica. And why on earth would you WANT and berretta 92? BTW.. they arnt that expensive... hell you can get a 40 cal desert eagle for about 1500.. a basic 9mm like that.. ive seen them on consignment for about 700 in some places. Still.. dont know why you would want one.. I hate those bloody things. I got my WWI issue 1911 from a consignment place for 400 bucks (cus the guy didnt know how special it was.. it belonged to his grandfather or something and just wanted to get rid of it)
traveling would be fun too. but i thought we were tolking about stuff, not things we would do.
I like 9mm. The kickback of .40, .45Cal, .50AE probably destroy my wrists after prolonged use.

You sound like you're going to a vigilante war with some infidels ;013
If we can go with weapons, I think I'd want to have one of those new H&K OICW's, whenever they manage to roll them out XD
they were canceled. not gonna come out :P
and 9mm sucks if you ask me.. you can put 5 rounds into a guy and he will keep coming. basic flack jackets you pick up in the surplus store will stop them. If your gonna have a side arm, get one that will actually do something to your opponent -_- but if target shooting is all your getting it for.. i soppose its okay
Damn... guess the next best thing would be a H&K G36 XD
And as any zombie hunter would tell you when going up against a seemingly unstoppable opponent, "Aim for the Head" ^^;;; (I have read of some criminals who have survived over 16 9mm shots to their body before they were finally felled).
Yeah, a drugged out guy will most likely ignore most hits. but this is getting into guns talk.. which should go in the guns thread.

You sound like one of those stupid action movies. WTF is up with shooting them in the chest? Shoot them in the head. No jacket covers your head. 1 Bullet is enough.
Speed, not power.
Triple8. I will tell you from personal experience its a bit harder then you think to get an accurate shot off at a mans head with a pistol when he is running at you with full automatic soviet AK-47. Real life is not like video games. Training teaches you to fire 2 to the chest and one at the head.. not because it takes three hits to kill someone, but so that you have three chances to hit. the two at the chest are there to try to get more likely hits on a larger target, the one for the head is to try to get a kill. Anyone that thinks they are good enough to get head shots every time in a real life situation is the one that watches too many action movies.
In reality when you have a split second to fire a round before he kills you, your just trying to score hits to give yourself time and to be faster then him. Hell, sights are a luxury you cant aford in most situations. I know Its hard to explain but irl you need ever possible milisecond. thats why we train for hours on end firing from the hip, practicing aquiring our sights quickly every time, and getting reloads down to less then a second.. because slow is dead, and aiming for head shots every time with a pistol is also dead.
To that end, again I say, unless you want it for pure self defence, get a bigger friggin pistol. A chest strike may not kill them with it, but it will put them on their ass and provide you time to do a killing hit.
now that my rant is done...
If i had the money to do anything, I think I would buy a table top gaming store. Since i have the money, I could concentrate on just enjoying the hobby and let my employees run the store. I could sit aside painting instore armys for people to come in and play, and have a massive gaming room with lots of great terrain.
