You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fine, and you think they're probably lying to make you feel better?
Yes.
Everything's going to be fine.

There'd Better Be Money In The Baptism Business
Because I'm about to pay $1500 for a font.
Licensing professional typefaces for web use is seriously expensive. Well, seriously expensive to someone who's paying for it out of his own pocket, anyway.
What this means is that I can dynamically generate menu items and logo buttons and suchlike in the standard mu.nu font, Horatio Medium. As things stand, I have over 100,000 pre-generated images for the menu items alone, and I have to manually generate banners if I want them to use this font.
It's a nice font, though.

Slightly Smaller Scale
I've ordered a Phenom 9750 (95W) to replace my Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (89W). So for an extra 6W I go from two 2.6GHz cores to four 2.4GHz cores.
It isn't quite as much computing power as the configs below, but it is an order of magnitude cheaper.
Update: Of course, today AMD announced three new Phenom models. Strangely, none of them are obviously better for my purposes than the one I already ordered. 140W for an extra 200MHz is a bit steep, and more than my motherboard can deliver in any case. 65W for a 2GHz quad-core isn't bad, though.
