Thanks to the support of my customers online and at anthrocon 2009, I was able to buy some new computer upgrades for myself :3
My new stuff: [link]
-Saitek Eclipse II backlit keyboard (up from a standard black Microsoft keyboard)
-Microsoft Habu 7-button laser mouse with glowing blue accents (up from a 5-button Microsoft optical mouse)
-and of course, the best for last: New Wacom Intuos4 medium-sized tablet (up from a Graphire3 6x8 with a frayed USB cable).

Side-by-side comparison of the two tablets: [link]
In addition to having 8 illuminated keys and a touch wheel which my predecessor didn't even have, the Intuos4 also has 4 times higher pressure sensitivity (2048 vs 512). And uh, it matches the style of the rest of my computer better P: I already like it much better than the Graphire3 (and thanks to deal hunting I saved a lot of money on the new one ;3).

And now my whole computer has a somewhat consistent look: black/chrome with blue lights xD

Thanks everyone x3 I'm psyched to try out this new stuff with new artwork.
