A Lack of Foresight

So now that I'm nearly done splurging, I've found myself in quite a predicament.
I have no method of bringing all my stuff home O_O
Most airlines only allow 2 bags to be checked in for a fair price. Any bags after that will be ridiculously expensive (not to mention I only have 2 bags.)
Now how do I find a way to bring home my:
Server
7 External Hard Drives
Laptop
Printer/Scanner/Copier
XBox 360
Gamecube
Speakers
Camcorder (including tripod)

And that's not to mention clothes, books, smaller electronics (camera, mp3 player, etc.) and many more miscellaneous odds and ends that you don't realize take up so much damn space until you have to move them somewhere else.
The tech itself will easily bring me over the weight limit for both my check in bags, if I were to check them in. Obviously I won't because I can't expect the airline to treat my bags with care, even if I did tell them several thousands of dollars worth of tech were in those bags.
Then there's the trouble of bringing them BACK to Buffalo when I return.
Oh well, I'm sure things will work out.

Still buying:
22" LCD TV/Monitor
4x6 Wacom Intuos3
New digital camera (for point and shoots)
DSLR (for the big stuff)
Several more internal HDDs so I can get my hard drives in a RAID 5 array
Router to turn my server into a server
Logitech G9 (because if I'm going to go this far, might as well do it with a mouse as well)

Then there's the things you need to constantly replenish, such as DVD+Rs, random components that you might need one day, food, clothes, other necessities, and eventually replacements for all of the above (because things break, and get replaced by newer versions)

Good luck Eric.
