Around $400. Most of it was spent earlier this year around my B-day.

I'd say I spent about $1200 this year myself on SATA HDD, an X800, MX510 mouse, DVDBurner, soundcard etc... If we count in what I spent on both my own rig, my gf's(I maintain that) and our server... Maybe about $1800

I would say I spent about 2000 on my computer so far this year (that is Canadian money ) that includes my processor, zalman fan, radeon 9800 xt, a couple of SATA hard drives, a dvd burner, a soundblaster audigy2, a Logiteck MX310 mouse, and a new keyboard. plus all of the money I spent on software?
lol, that's more than I use to spend on smokes! (but not by much, I am glad I quit!!)

More than $500 for me- If I count the PC I bought and build for my sister it would go to way more than $1,000- If I count the $800 Laptop and home networking crap I bought for my dad a few months ago it would probably go over $2000... but that wasn't my money, so I voted $500 to $1000.

If I had a damn job it would go to over $2000 just for me I am sure, if not more.

i said $1,000-$2,000. I got me my specs u guys see on my sig for an even $1,000; and i've spent more money since then on odds and ends. i'm prolly around $1,500 on my current system. But if i were to count everything, i'd probably be around like $5,000 in computer ish.
