I realize this may come off as rude, but there are numerous threads started every week re: a "budget" component and the majority of the thread starters never mention a $ amount. But if you look up the definition of the word "budget", you'll see that money, finances or financial restrictions are part of the definition. Using the word "budget" without attaching a $ amount leaves the door open for others to recommend gear that is well below your expectations or way beyond your financial means. It's like telling your doctor that you don't feel good. If you were a doctor, would you like to play 20 Questions with every patient that walked into the office?
For a good example of a "recommend" thread, read the thread above yours started by JoshT. Notice the information that he provides for the reader.
