Every day people buy tablets and then end up never using them and selling them practically new for a great price. The new Intuos at 6.3" x 3.9" active area sells for $229 US. It has +-60 degrees of tilt. 5080 lines per inch (as do all of the Intuos of any size). 2048 pressure sensitivity levels. It's pretty good! On Amazon, a used one is as low as $149 right now, and a used medium is as low as $249. If you'd be happy with the Intuos 3, ebay has a bunch of new ones really cheap. Wouldn't it be cool to have a big cintiq? $1999 US. There's plans on the web to make your own from recycled parts. http://www.bongofish.co.uk/wacom/wacom_pt1.html or http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/maximum_pc_builds_a_multitouch_surface_computer
