Single most expensive component you've bought?

GF7800 GTX when it first came out at £234.94. Close second comes the AMD X2 3800+ at £229 (depressing how cheap it is now), and Corsair 2GB XMS3500 at £211.44. Bought them all at the same time as well.

£250 on my first 2x cd writer a long, long time ago. :eek: Failures were high especially with music cds.

I remember that, the nervous half hour wait when you didn't do anything taxing with the PC in case the dreaded buffer underrun occured. I can't quite top the £250, in fact my first CDR was about half that but because I was still at school I couldn't afford it on my own so me and a mate clubbed together to buy one. :)
 
£130 on a 9800pro :)
The only time i've spent more than £100 on a component. (My personal rule :cool: ) It was worth it though :D
 
Prob AMD FX-55 (Clawhammer) + Abit AX8 M/B was about £450

20" Apple Cinema Display £420

More recently SM-226BW £270
 
Peripheral wise and overall would be a toss up between my TFT and midi keyboard...both came in at around £390'ish each.

But as for component, prob my latest graphics card I suppose.
 
recently £365 on a gainward 8800 gtx

6 months ago prolly my evga 680i £211

i cant remember what i paid for my 6800 gt when they came out but it was over £300 iirc and i killed it overclocking it in 2 weeks, no rma because i put an artic cooler on it :(

My most expensive purchase has been £164 inc vat for my 8800 GTS.

Before that i've not spent more than £150 on any single componant, nor indeed do i intend to again.
It isnt worth it.
