Well the computer I just bought is kind of 'secondary' photographic gear. It's a clearance iMac:

24" Screen
3.06Ghz Intel C2D
4GB RAM
1TB HD
nVidia 4850

Normal retail price here in the UK somewhere over £1850. I got it for £1330. Woop!

That said, until it turns up on my doorstep I won't believe it! Apparently it has one dead pixel, but as I will probably hook it up to a colour critical monitor, I'm not too bothered.

I purchased a 300 2.8L(non IS), 16-35, 1DmkIIn and a Lowepro Supertrkker AW....

I kept the Supertrekker...lol

Brand new 1D II and 200 1.8 combo for $4,000.00 back in 2004 from a photojournalist - he never used either piece of gear....kept the 1D II and sold the 200 1.8 for $3,200.00 - more than covered the cost of a new 1D II at the time!!

I picked up a sigma 10-20mm today for $250. He had a sigma 30mm 1.4 that i was a bit late to replying. He wanted $400 for both!! Atleast i got a minty $500 lens for half that!

Another deal that i came across today, and am going to most likely pick up tomorrow, is:
350D+grip with 18-55mm, 3 batteries, Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6 III, Canon 70-200 f/4L, a flash (sunpak...?) and bag for...$700! everything is mint!

i will probably use the XT to test the lenses and, uh, take pictures and decide on the 70-200...i will sell the XT kit and the 70-300, and buy the XSI deal they have at amazon right now, which is a smokin' deal in itself!
