This would be outside the budget for my summer workstation build, so the money for these will be more limited. Listed in order of priority. More changes coming in the next few hours...

i've always wanted to get one of those tablet draw pads, but then again i can't draw for sh*t even on paper.

@Tech_Dreamer I got myself a Wacom Intuos Art Medium a while back and it's pretty good but, paper is cheaper if you just want to doodle or get into drawing.
Plus, when you go digital you'll also need to learn a bunch of extra stuff so, I'd just stick to paper until you get your bearings.

Okay - things have changed drastically since I posted this. I'll do an update in a few minutes...
