Wow, thanks you guys you've given me a lot to ponder. :) Thanks for the tip on the Intuos, that's a nifty little feature to have...desk space isn't a big problem, went and picked out a nice big corner unit last year :D and BTW, just for vanity's sake, I'm a "she" ;) I'm keeping my old PC, nothing really wrong with it except it's 2 years out of date and not fast enough...I've got combined 32GB of hard drive space. planning on using it for MS Office, Internet and Work (subcontract data entry work to pay the bills) so that'll leave the new one free for graphics. (which is what is taking up most of the space right now...my poser stuff alone could fill 3 700MB cd's zipped!) I am planning on getting a Dual Monitor capable card..at the moment I've got two 19" monitors doing nothing and a 17" Flat screen so....lots of room to play there. :D Thanks for all your help everyone.
