Well, I'm stuck. I really don't know what I want to get. I'll end up getting everything I need in the long run, but I don't know what's more important to have now, and what I can settle for later. Here's what I'm thinking. I'm going to get a tablet, a scanner, and a new monitor. But I don't know what to get first. I need the monitor so I have one to use for CS:S, and one for my current rig, but that's not necessary until CS:S is finished. But there are some great deals on Newegg right now for monitors. I want a tablet and scanner so I can scan my drawings, and draw them on my computer. I'm thinking about buying the tablet and/or scanner now, and monitor and whatever I couldn't afford later. But I'd like to here what you have to say. Here's the stuff I'm looking at.

Scanner (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16838111121) - Pretty good deal, though I can probably get a better deal with a sale somewhere else.
Tablet 1 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883100025) and Tablet 2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883100022) - I don't know if I need a 6x8 tablet now, so I'll probably get the 4x5, but I'm no tablet expert so again, opinion is needed on that.
Monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254023) - Rebate, 19" Widescreen, $150. Not much more to say.

So what do you think? I have about $160, so I can only afford either the monitor, the 6x8 tablet, or the 4x5 tablet and the scanner. What would you buy?

Perhaps I'm the only person here with a tablet, so me suggesting to get the tablet probably won't do any good, if it gets no other votes >_>
