hey, how would you make your laptop if you had around 5.000$ to spend? The highest RAM and MEMORY obviously, but...is it worthy the Airport extreme Base station? Will I have enough with the 20GB iPOD?? Any Storage besides the ZIP 250 MB?? What about really nice speakers??

This is what I've thought of... but the airport Base Station... dunno...

so...

I won't need to waint until the G5 comes out, right?/ It'll be fast enough... I guess. Plus that one will be more expensive (my wallet is not that deep!!) and it will take some time...
