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.

Since the upgrade last summer with new C2D mobo, the 8800GTS and the sammy 22", I have not spent a cent toward my computer.
