just wondering how much people have spent on their current systems. Heres mine:

Acer 22" Monitor - £155
E2160 - £50
Gigabyte p35c-ds3r - £80
OCZ 2gb ram - £35
8800gts - £100
Corsair 450w psu - £45
3 hard drives - £150
Optirac sata drive - £20
Trust keyboard - £5
Logitech g3 - £20

Total= £660

I know to most thats not much for a mediocre set up but when i think of how much i spent it makes me think what else i could have done with my cash!

EDIT: title should read "how much have you 'spent' on your pc...otherwise i'd say my pc was worth a couple of thousand :p

Hrm.. Can't remember exact prices so I'll have to think roughly. Obviously this isn't including old cards and stuff that I bought to tide me over during my upgrading.

Case: Antec Titan + 550W PSU : £90 (no longer using that PSU)
PSU: Corsair 620W: £75~
CPU: E6300: £110 (I think, was sept '06)
RAM: 4GB Geil ULL: £80+£30 = £110
GFX: 2900XT: £230
Motherboard: Asus P5N-E SLi: £90~
Fans + Coolers: £60~

I think that's about it, I'm probably leaving out something important. Sub total of:
£765 roughly.

Not including the 7600GT and 7900GS (£10 upgrade when selling the 7600). 7900GS ended up dying on me after a few weeks.

and about 5 months before this I was stupid and thought I would buy 2GB of DDR to help OC my old dying AGP P4 rig for £100 ish, aswell as a £135 7900GS - what a mistake and waste of money that was.

I waste my money. Nuff said.
