In my case if I pay all my rates now I save $22.5 over paying them in
installments. But if I leave that money in the mortgage I save about $25.88
according to my crude calculations (real value will be slightly higher),
more if interest rates rise. I think I'll hold onto the money until I have
to hand it over. If I didn't have a mortgage the value of interest or
investment income might be a bit lower. YMMV.

As for gear, if you're buying it anyway it's definitely a saving. But you
could probably do better by just waiting for a sale (or in the case of
drives just wait a month or two - they seem to drop by about 3-5% per
month).

Cheers,
Steve
