pumaz · 1 Dec 2009 at 21:22

You should see my food bill for this year!

G-Dubs · 1 Dec 2009 at 21:22

Well done for your one man effort to kick start the economy. The American and far east economy that is!!!!

Only jealous

ScottMC7000 · 1 Dec 2009 at 21:25

Obviously with so many things you have bought such as graphics cards, you have pretty much wasted any value that they have offered you unless you are running a small rendering farm between the machines and getting your monies worth but even then you rely on the CPU to do that, not graphic cards.

the wopster · 1 Dec 2009 at 21:27

lol she lets me get away with murder
i have to admit though i dont have many other things to spend my money on because i dont drink dont smoke and rarely go out lol

Showboat · 1 Dec 2009 at 22:16

All that money wasted and a crappy 22" to appreciate it and no SSD!

Hope you resold anything you rarely used.

GobzzzMp3 · 1 Dec 2009 at 22:22

/Sigh, i wish i had that much money to through away on useless components i will probably never use...

scotty365 · 1 Dec 2009 at 22:51

coolsouthern · 1 Dec 2009 at 22:53

haha how many systems have you actually built??

I swear I counted like 5 GPU's and 4 CPU's etc??

The reason being she knows you probably have no money left, and getting a gfx card in a divorce settlement isn't really normal.

Well done though!

Sharpsilver · 2 Dec 2009 at 01:24

4 Graphics cards
3 Processors
3 Motherboards

o.O

I want your salary.

jak731 · 2 Dec 2009 at 02:01

If you're working and it's your main hobby then it's not that much I suppose. Being a student I to can only dream of spending that much on any one thing.

Pawnless Endgame · 2 Dec 2009 at 02:28

I would consider myself a regular OcUK customer (buying components most years), but I can't get anywhere near this capacity :-)
