I spend a ton on these things.
As the loving, devoted father of 5 of the little beasties I must say that they are almost as expensive as raising Junior. If one gets sick, I doctor it, if one needs attention, I'm there for it. And being loving and devoted I bestow all sorts of goodies on 'em. And if one should happen to die (heaven forbid!) I would grieve for it.

Way too much.
post #159 of 172
This is my 1st year buying any hardware, and since I built 2 computers, its been over $2500. Next year it won't be a fraction of that (I hope) Although I may do an open loop on my main rig next year because I love how open loops look, which means buying a case with a bigger, untinted side window and of course all the stuff for open loop.

i think you got your prices wrong should have started with $50 and worked from thiere not everyone spends a $1000 a year let alone $10,000 i tend to limit myself to about $500 but this year the upgraded pc has turned into new build cost about $1400 a $10,000 pc is more than i earn in 2 years it cost me 3.5 mounths in wages just to pay for the new build and i havent changed gpu yet
