How much have YOU spent?

PhillyDee · 6 Nov 2010 at 19:37

Was looking through my order history on OcUK for the model of black dragon ram (needed to double-check the timings) and was amazed at my order history. And worried :eek:

First Order: 01-December-2006
Latest Order: 06-November-2010 (Today)
Total Spent: £5145.92!!!!
Total Orders: 43

Seriously, HOW MUCH???? There are 3 complete builds in there, including my latest i7 overclocked bundle. And my home server (Never knew it was 3 years old in december). I know I had orders on the old site too, but of course they are lost to me.

So OcUK forumites . . . How much, how long, and how many?

Did you really go through all your orders adding them up?

stulid · 6 Nov 2010 at 19:39

not a lot, probably about £200 over all my pc owning years.

I find I can get better prices else where, with free delivery, or more local to me so i dont have to worry about spending money on postage if I need to RMA something.

Yes. I am currently insanely bored

Just from Ocuk? or in total computer parts since my 1st computer?

RJC · 6 Nov 2010 at 20:04

I think mine would not differ from the OP, Several builds and updates!

Usually with my upgrades the sale of my old parts makes up for most of the cost of new parts. Still, i reckon i have spent £500-600 spread between here and other retailers over the past few years.

Its better not to know

I would hate to think what I've spent on pc's in the last 16 years. My 1st 2 PC's were pre-built & were the best part of £2K each. The one after that was £900 & then I began to build them myself, so I've been buying bits & pieces as & when I want them. The one I'm building for my dad is roughly about £300, I've saved a little bit by buying a few bits off the MM. At a rough guess I would say £5K in total.

I agree. Ignorance is the best policy

Hi All
I don't want to add it all up as I might have an heart attack.
I just hope my wife doesn't sell my bits for what I told her I paid for them.

+ 1 on that.

Hobbies are illogical when it comes to expenditure.

95thrifles · 7 Nov 2010 at 11:00

Yes, agree, not going to add up total cost over all time cos I think Id cry, current PC is prob around 3k of custom built kit so go figure how much I must have spent over the years

Cookeh · 7 Nov 2010 at 11:09

From OcUK?
£0

From competitors?
£0

Inherited my current and only PC

Greboth · 7 Nov 2010 at 11:14

I looked out of curiosity and now I wish I hadn't

From OC ~1900 from competitors ~300 on this build, I don't want to think what it will be if I start going back to previous builds. But I agree with who cares, its awesome having high spec pc's and I am happy to pay for it.

The big question is how many is in debt due to PCs....
