About $1000. I shouldn't be doing much this coming year, as this PC is pretty amazing.

I usually spend about $750 yearly on updates and about $1500 on a new build every 2 years. This is my new build year so sometime around June I'll start collecting parts.

under $1000 for me. Usually around $200-400, though I will spend much more than that every few years for new RAM / CPU / Motherboard (IE next year or the year after with Nehalem).
