Playdate (handheld console.)
I almost bought one, but I cancelled the order because my phone broke that evening.

What do you think of the arduboy?
Could be interesting in it's own right, I could certainly buy one right now if I wanted to, but also a huge reason Playdate interested me is because it's hardware is kinda anachronistic (Playdate's specs eclipse the original DS in a lot of ways, but it has a 1-bit monochrome screen) and because of an interest in radial controls (I've never had access to something like a Pong console or a 2600 with Paddle controllers.)
Is this for retro gaming? I thought about buying the RG 300 for this.

A projector with surround sound speakers for my living room.
Interesting question.
- Top of the line electric motorcycle. I think this would be the best from Zero Motorcycles, but I'd have to research (SR/S, I think).
- A metal 3D printer. I love the abilities of 3D printing, but I'm not very excited about putting a bunch more plastic in the world. Also, plastic is not very strong and I assume metal prints could be very strong and therefore much more useful. Print a new motor for my motorcycle? Yes, please! And so much more: my own hardware store (screws, etc.), furniture, jewelry, silverware, cooking utensils, grill parts, etc.
- Top of the line PC. $5k PC. It would be interesting to see what the bleeding edge looks like. Be nice to keep this because it would probably age well.
From what I can tell, Zero does that shit that Tesla and BMW do, where you have to pay to unlock features that your car/motorcycle already has. Which is a shame, because the idea of owning an electric motorcycle, particularly a highway-capable one, intrigues me.
Tbh, the jump from upper mid tier to top of the line PC is present but not overwhelming.

A custom gaming pc built by Digital Storm to replace my HP Omen laptop. I've done quite a bit of research. I looked at Digital Storm, AVA Direct, Maingear, Falcon Northwest, and System 76. For a while I was eyeing Maingear, then Falcon Northwest, but Digital Storm has most of the options that I'd want.

A three set bookcase for my room so that I can replace my old bookcase and to better store the books that I have and more.
