OK - who checked the "over $10,000" category and what on earth did you buy?

For me I spent a over $1000 upgrading my rig. New mobo, RAM, CPU, PSU and case.

Before I vote on this poll; is this only for our main rig, or for all of our systems? Since I've spent way more if you count my other computers, and networking gear, than if I only count my main rig.

I think I'm in the $4001-$10000 category.... let's see.... past year...

(making a list out of curiosity)

thermaltake xaser 3 + antec psu + barton 2800 oem + abit nf7-s rev 2 - 380 GBP
Logitech MX Deskset - 100
120GB Maxtor - 65
2x raptors - 130
NEC ND2500A - 70
Akasa PSU - 70
Thermaltake Tsunami - 90
Logitech Z2200 - 150
X800pro - 300
x800xt pe - 400
2GB Corsair XL - 450
Abit IC7 Max 3 - 130
3.2 Northy - 185
watercooling - 300
neons + fans - 40
sp-97 - 40
ti 4200 - 35
a64 3000 - 90
icemat - 20
various mice - 50

total = 3095GBP = $5571

new laptop - 1060

total 2 = 4155GBP = $7479

That's a shit load of money! lmfao!

Plus there's going to be this LGA775 stuff I'll be buying - another 1500GBPs worth of stuff... I don't know where I got it all from! lol... I think it's more than a hobby - it's an addiction!

I'm positive I've left out some big things.... I just can't remember!

There's loads of software etc too

hmmm... I wonder if minidisc players and mp3 players count... they could count as peripherals... if so - there's 350GBP worth of those - sony MZN10 and Creative Muvo 2 4GB

Plus I left out router + WAP + cables = 120GBP

That takes the total up to 4625GBP.... holy crap! lmao

rofl...yeah... 30quid a day + 1 or two networking jobs (150quid a shot - i like them ), and I've only been working since late october last year... until the end of July... and I won't be working again until october/november time unless I move over to PCWorld where there is more money + more work... because I am actually out of work at the current time - they're very short on money - I'll get a reference and look into part time work @ PCWorld - finally - if I end up being a salesman instead of a technician - they'll be someone giving genuine advise at PCWorld!
