I think I have just realized I have a serious problem ,lol. I looked and my purchase history for the last 3 years (When I grew up from pre-builds ) and realized that I have spent on average $8300 per year on my hobby, lol.

5-6K (US$).

That includes the money that I get for selling older (8-12 months) hardware.

It does not include materials and consumables for modding.

I'm spending around 100 each 2 months, mainly on VID cards, so I guess 500 a year. Since I live in €land it should be something like 750$

I did a full rebuild this last winter (was my first build) and I kinda went over the top. I'm probably in the neighborhood of 3-4 grand right now, but I see more upgrades in my immediate future (EX38-DQ6, Q9450/Q6700).

My wallet is just a shriveled creature that provides me with uneaven seating.


*Edit

Lol, where is CD? I am curious as to his spending habits. Hell, hes probably done 5k in the last couple of months.
