I'll be giving myself a (loose) budget for this year: $50 per paycheck, or $1300 total. Plus whatever I happen to make from selling games, but considering I only sell dupes and I have very few of those kicking around, I don't see it going up much higher than 14-1500. I have set the precedent, with my purchase of the 3DO USB adapter, that I'm willing to dip into my budget early and hey, if I blow all $1300 by March guess I'm gonna have a looooong end of the year
Also, I'm going to focus on making my collection prettier in a couple ways -- I'm getting UGCs done up for more and more games so as to be better shelf candy, I'm displaying everything FINALLY since I'm getting my house in order at long last, and I'm continuing to work on better video output from systems -- Component where possible, S-video if I can't, Composite if I really must. I could do RGB, but I like my 36" Trinitron too much to buy a PVM that's going to be significantly smaller, especially since the difference between RGB and YPbPr is all but indistinguishable to the average human eye (and I wear glasses so I'm not even a good eye), and if I'm going to be transcoding the SCART anyway, what's the point? Plus the system modding allows me to reduce the number of proprietary cords and get most systems down to standard RCA jacks.
Tertiary importance as far as goals/resolutions is I WOULD really like to finish off a "complete" collection (even if it's cart only) of SOME system, even if it's one of the smaller/less loved systems.
