I'm already eye-deep in a harem of my dreambikes (my living room's full of them), so I'd probably blow it on this belt-driven, 64mpg beauty:
[Edit: I change my vote. I'd get two SRM powermeters for my bikes and spend the rest getting my junk knocked around by hookers.)

Indie Fab (probably SSR) or a Specialized Tarmac. I would use whatever is left to get some Zipps, come on 404's!

The stock CAAD9 with Rival, and a sweet set of hand-built wheels.
Then I’d go to Hampsten and have them build me a Ti bike with similar geometry but with clearance for 28s and fenders to serve as the winter bike. Also with Rival and hand-builts.
Then spend the rest on a trip to ride them.

Crumpton or Spectrum Ti from Tom Kellogg. Would go for the long-ride comfort and descent stability over the twitchy hammer bike.
I still p.o.ed at the lack of clean compatibility between DA 7900 and 7800. Might go for Campy.
And for wheels, maybe 303s, and for pedals, be a total idiot and be a first generation of adopter for the vector power meter.
