What should i buy as my christmas present?

The thing is that i have 300 USD burning a hole in my pocket, and are in the fate of becoming my Christmas gift.
So basically i am having some problems on deciding where should that money be spent. I have narrowed down the  choices to:

1-Buy a mediator for my 040 Amiga 1200
2-Buy a mac mini (Maybe install Morphos)
3-Buy a Power Mac G4 (Double mirrored drive) (and maybe install Morphos for it when available)
4-Spend only 40 USD in expansions to make my old PC AROS capable
5-Sell my Amiga+accelerator+miggy stuff to buy a SAM (This option is the most underrated by me)
6-Something else

What would you do?

I should probably start a bounty to get the owner of Amiga.org introduce himself as such!

Speaking seriously, it seems to me @amigadave is on the right tracks on this one, I won´t sell my classic stuff to buy an underpowered SAM, and an immature OS just because it is called AmigaOS 4!
A mediator is simply an expensive whim for those who have too much money to spend, and have nowhere else to spend it (Should i even dare compare the thought of buying at $280 a pci busboard or an entire, second hand Mac, at exactly the same price?).
So i have it narrowed again to choices 2,3,4 and 6.

Thanks for the advice until now...

Now it comes down to making the right choice :0

My 040 cannot be easily upgraded, or at least that is what i think:
It is a Macrosystem Falcon 1240 wich originally had a 25mhz 040, that i upgraded to a 40mhz one and changed the oscillator accordingly.
It is supposedly an upgradeable board to a 68060 50mhz, but i never saw anyone upgrading one, nor even have instructions on how to do it

By the way i have it running at 41.5mhz with 64MB of FastRam!

Well thinking it a bit more, i got to the last two posible choices:
2-Buy a mac mini (Maybe install Morphos) - and get a nasal accent included free of charge
4-Spend only 40 USD in expansions to make my old PC AROS capable, Amithlon capable, KXLight capable, etc

@Smerf
i am also in the long, never finishing process of towering my Amiga 1200, but i never tend to do it for one reason or another. I already bought a Lyra2, an IDEfix interface, have the accelerator, the elcheapo scandoubler, a nice new black Amiga mouse, a PC to Amiga floppy adapter with a black PC faceplate floppy, an ATX PSU with an Amiga converter cable, a PCMCIA ethernet card, and a few of oldies goldies that i enjoyed when young (digiview, midi interface, gvp dss+,ect).

@Alexh
I looked through freescale 68040 datasheets to do the 060 upgrade, with the two empty sockets and 3.3volts from my atx psu, but then the doc showed it had too many GND and VCC pins in that specific datasheet. So soldering two pins at first, wasnt a big issue for me, but then i saw the document, and i relized i had to solder like 30, which is a no goer for my skills, and i was a bit afraid of screwing my accelerator in the process.

@persia
It was a simple and innocent joke aimed at @smerf, not related to mocking farmers, only meant for what he said previously. I am sorry you missunderstood it, and got hurt in the process.

@platon42
I dont like the subwayUSB interface, but i would have bought a deneb without hesitating. The problem is that  it only works on zorro amigas. And a zorro A1200 busboard, as cheap as it may seem, due to the excesive shipping charges i witnessed generally from european postal services, means like 140 USD and then i would have to buy/hack an ATX psu(more $) and then buy the deneb (even more $)!.
I totally agree a deneb is a cool buy, but then it comes to much more $$$ than its price, as i have explained (I wish i had an A4000!).
