Overall, I've spent $2400 on computer stuff. Of course, some of that isn't in my hands anymore.
 
The original cost was around $3,700. After upgrades, probably around $4,500. In addition to the stuff in my sig, I have a couple 8800 GTS', Dominator and Ballistix RAM, and other miscellaneous crap. :P

Ugh. I just added up what I spent on my own personal computer for the parts that are currently in it. $3950 before tax.

Fnar all you's have got more money than me.:(

I started off with my family's computer (which i'm probably the only one who uses), which was $1400. Then recently decided to upgrade the RAM, and then really started getting into modifying it.

May as well add all the bits up.

Computer: $1400
Video Card: $100
RAM: $175
Speakers: $95

Total: AU$1770

Going to spend another $300 on cooling stuff soon though.

I know, but they were upgrades and replacements for the crap that came with the PC originally, an' I didn't get 'em for free.
So... I'll subtract $55 for those and come up with a new grand total of $1074.
Forgive me; I haven't felt well lately.
