I would just go for a good ole saving account, or even a checking account with interest (since you are dropping in 5k you could likely get some sort of % back). With that money you will then have opportunities to make more than the measley % you could if it were tied up completley.

ingdirect has %2.25 on their saving account. no fees, just link it to your checking account.

What is your goal? More return = more risk.

If you don't want to hold for 5 years, you need something with a fixed return, like a cd. You could also do TIPS.

Roth-IRA? Why not start a roth-IRA?

If you go with CDs, I'd recommend classics like Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, and The Who. Whatever you do, don't blow $5K on Ashlee Simpson and Nick Carter CDs! Worst. Investment. Ever.
