Just wondering what others are saving their $, €, £, or ¢'s for?

I'm quite happy with my current gear, so I guess I'm not planning to buy anything for few years.

Powerbook and Mac mini with MorphOS are good for everyday computing. Classic Amigas have all they need (latest bought is Indy2 AGA, which drivers' I'm waiting to finalize). Have enough other electronics too.. so.. I just enjoy :)

I've got some kind of network card with two BNC connectors that came with an A3000T I recently bought but it seems like it might be a pain to get them connected up to a modern router.

It doesn't happen to have AUI port too? Wide connector with many pins. You can get transceiver for it to convert it to RJ-45. I for example have Hydra's Amiganet card, which has two BNC connectors and one AUI connector and I grabbed handful of AUI->RJ45 tranceivers from local recycling center once. They work just fine with it... you just had to jumper network card to use AUI. It's easier and probably cheaper (edit: very quick look to ebay, seems to be around $10) solution than trying to work with BNC today.
