The
Ultimate "I Want" List |
This
list is roughly ordered by what I plan to buy first - it is my "I Want" list, just in case you
want to know what are my interests, or if you can't decide
what to get me on a random holiday... but I'm sure most of these things are out of your budget... that's why I call it "The Ultimate 'I Want' List"!

Belkin
F1DS104U - $117 - link
I've been needing a new switch for a while, and finally,
I've found the greatest one. It is a four port KVMSM (Keyboard,
Video, Mouse, Speaker, Mic [I made the last two up, haha])
switch that runs with VGA video and USB mouse and keyboards.
This guy works with all PC, Mac, and Linux, so I can run
all my three computers fine and dandy. PCConnection is my store of choice. |

Canon
i9900 - $425 - link
This very cool printer has eight freaking separate ink
cartridges and a 4800 x 1200 printing resolution with a
droplet size of 2 picoliters: a true photo printer. You
can print up to a borderless 13" x 19" page in
about two minutes. It has both USB and FireWire ports and
can hold about 100 pages of paper... but be sure to use
Canon specific photo paper as they work the best. I plan
to buy this one over the summer as I need a nice photo
printer. B&H is
my store of choice. |

Epson
P4500 - $640 - link
Not yet released, this awesome PMP from Epson sports the
same 80GB hard drive from its predecessor, and basically
the same everything, except for a few enhancements on RAW
support and video support. It can handle DivX, other MPEG4
files, as well as 1 and 2 versions, and can handle MP3
and AAC, all incorporated onto an awesome device with that
luscious four inch megapixel screen. B&H or Amazon.com are
my stores of choice.
Alternatives: Creative
Zen Vision or Maxian
T600 or Cowon

Sony
KD-34XBR960 - $1400 - link
Sony has made this beautiful 34" CRT HDTV (w/ tuner),
16x9, 10 video inputs, television for a great price. This
television has been thrown up there with the best of plasmas
and LCDs. I for one think that those plasmas and LCDs are
nothing compared to these CRTs when considering picture
quality, maybe in the future... with $300 shipping (on
200lbs of TV) from B&H,
what a deal! |

Canon
16-36mm f/2.8L USM - $1400 - link
A hefty price for a wide angle lens, but this lens is f/2.8
at all ranges, has an Ultra Supersonic Motor, and has an
"L" glass, for super clarity. I was able to hold
it earlier in June, but have not saved enough money to actually
buy one for myself. With this bought, it will be almost twice
the price of my camera body, Insha Allah. I hope to Insha
Allah save up and buy this before the completion of 2006. B&H is
my store of choice. |

Canon
70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM - $1660 - link
Another wallet weight dropper, the awesome Canon 70-200mm
f/2.8L IS USM. It starts from 70mm and shoots up to 200mm,
fast with its Ultra Sonic Motor, while staying at f/2.8 all
the way through. It handles wonderfully at the telephoto
due to its Image Stabilization. The pictures will be clearer
than ever with its "L" glass, for super clarity.
I really have no clue when I'll be able to own one of these,
but I Insha Allah will get one, if not by the end of 2006,
by the summer of 2007, Insha Allah. B&H is
my store of choice. |

Pioneer
DVR-630 - $750 - link
A very awesome piece of technology, the DVR/DVD Recorder
has a hard drive of 160GB and can read oh so many disc formats
(excluding HD-DVD and Blu-ray, of course). It promises to
be great for HD output, but unluckily, no HDMI out. Nonetheless,
it's a great DVD Player and DVR, for the people who are freaking
sick of TiVo and their corporate plans that make you pay
them to record your own stuff, haha - props to TiVo. This
one isn't on the top of my list of things to buy, but it
definitely is worth the mention. B&H is
my store of choice. |

IBM
T60 - $2,049 - link
The brand new replacement to the IBM T43, the IBM T60,
released at CES 2006 in January. This new notebook offers
the brand new Intel Duo dual core CPUs. They come in a
wide range of speeds, and max resolution at 1400x1050 at
14 or 15 inch screens. The hard disk that will come with
it is up to 100GB at 7200rpm, and 2GB max ram with a DVD +RW
Ultrabay slim drive weighing it at a mere 5 lbs with an
11 hour battery! I Insha Allah want to pick this up before
I leave for the summer, so I can take pics with my 350d
and always have net access with the beaut and my HTC. |

Samsung
SH-B022 ~ $800 - link
In no way am I buying this any time soon, I'm not made
of money. This is one of the first Blu-ray burners out
there, and it does speeds well close to the Samsung 18x
DVD Burner. I know for a fact that these babies will drop
come Winter, so there's really no need to go out and spend
almost a grand on a device that isn't readily available
yet. But this is just to show that I support Blu-ray more
than I support HD-DVD (but I'll buy a hybrid player, of
course, when Samsung Insha Allah unleashes it). |

Panasonic
AG-DVX100A - $3400 - link
The Ultimate 24p Independent Filmmaker's dream. 3CCD, 24p,
10x zoom, and best audio system in its class. We are renting
this, Insha Allah, for Pit
Stop and I hope to snag my own someday. B&H is
my store of choice.
Alternatives: Panasonic
AG-DVX100B or Canon
XL-2 or Panasonic
AG-HVX200 |

1999-2000
B16a2 Swap ~ $1,800 - link
This beautiful swap comes out of a 1999-2000 Honda Civic
Si at 1595cc and offers 160HP and 111 ft-lbs of torque.
This will fit wonderfully in my 1999 Honda Civic HB, Insha
Allah. Not really sure where I'll pick this one up when
I get the cash, probably a wreckage yard, but the link
is to some JDM exporting company, called flashoptions. |

1994
BMW 850 CSi ~ $18,000 - link
Not in production anymore, the '94 5.6L V12 RWD Bimmer with 370HP and 400
ft-lbs of torque is a jaw dropper. The price can range anywhere from $15,000
to $20,000. I hope to have this in my driveway/garage in due course Insha
Allah. |

2003
Ferrari 360 Modena ~ $150,000 - link
And of course, my dream, it inspired my alias; who can forget the Ferrari
360 Modena, Italian made 400HP, 276 ft-lbs of torque, RWD, 3.6L V8, 0-60
in 4 seconds.... I really hope that I own this in my life, Insha Allah, ask
me for a ride in the future. |
