forget about the $3k you have left, what about the money you've already put in? it doesn't look like I can sign up anywhere to get any sort of service, so you have no way to generate a return on your investment so far -- so why would you want to put any more in?

my suggestion is to set up yourself a prgmr-like website, do the administration yourself (by hand), and spend a few hundred dollars trying to get some traffic and signups. if that starts to work out then take it from there. realize that more SSDs aren't going to generate any money; signups will.

a new website would be nice, but you don't have the money for one, and it's not clear it's worth trying to get one at this point. the pure ASCII look could actually instill some sort of confidence that your current website does not.

good luck!
