$5,000 for your dream project: 2 days left

In all honesty, what can be done with 5k for a dream project?

It's not enough to go full time. I guess maybe pay for hosting, maybe bring on a short term consultant, or do some advertising?

Obviously 5k is better than 0, but it still seems pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things for software projects

It could get you hardware or other resources that you wouldn't otherwise have access to.
