However, high end audio and video stuff depreciates fast, and Craigslist or your college trading site of choice probably have a ton of them. For value, think 40+ inch flatscreens at around 400 to 600 (and always remember to offer a lot less at the start - haggling isn't a dead art). Audio equipment is harder to get on the cheap, but any decent system will beat that Klipsch or Logitech system your roomate has hooked up to his laptop (just remember to keep the volume down).

Why did everyone else miss that tiny detail? Make sure it's a <em>real</em> fountain pen though. Good tip with that gold pen. Why did everyone else miss that tiny detail?
