How much have you spent in say the last 3 years chasing "3DMark" scores.

I think i must have spent close on £1400 according to my bank statements!
Now im happy with the odd game of BF2 on a average [being generous] PC.

So what do you reckon you have spent and on what?

edit:Mods if you want to move this to Graphics then please do.

Do we include money given to the wife/girlfriend in bribes coz that doubles my cost straight away. :mad:
