I know I spend alot of time here as well:

And yes dslr photography costs WAY more than computers...

here is what I have now:

Bodies: 30D & XTI
Lenses: Canon 50 f/1.8..Canon 100-400L f/4.5-5.6..Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.5
Misc: 580EX..Better Beamer..4 & 8gb Ridata 150X CF..Opteka Battery Grips..Kenko 1.4 TC..UV Filters..Lowepro Slingshot..Tripod

Very nice gears you have. The 30D is a great body and what I had initially. I couldn't resist the step-up to the 5D when my local Sammys camera shop had a refurb for $1800. It is basically a brand new body. I still miss the 30D 5fps compare to 3fps on the 5D. But once I look through the 5D viewfinder, I completely forget the 30D

Being where you are, I bet the 100-400L comes in very handy. How's the result when used with your Kenko 1.4? And have you considered upgrading to 580EX II? Am thinking about it.

You are very very lucky to get a 5D for that great price, refurbished or not. At least you are smart and didn't pay retail... I hear the retail for a 5D is $3,800, body only?.... is the 1D still the bomb for Canon ?

And just to console myself and make myself feel a bit better.... the ambient temps in Sunny SoCal ain't so good for extreme overclocking temps.... there, I feel much better now

$1800.00...nice! The only reason I have not gone with the 5D is exactly what you said ..5fps vs 3..I take alot of nature/sports photos and need all the fps I can get...this is what I am buying next instead of the 5D..

10mp @ 10fps....ew la la very nice...

my 100-400 rarely leaves my 30D along with my kenko 1.4....here is a place where all the pics I have taken were with the 100-400 along with the kenko tc...

Excuse me Mr. Grinch. Can you please enlighten me as to how you learned advanced Digi photography so darn fast? I live with my wife and I don't understand half the crap that she (and her circle) says when it comes to photography, and my skills are distinctly lacking.... I use auto focus cameras lol
