I kid you not I had that same computer growing up! Weird! Was it a horizontal desktop with curvy light grey plastic trim on the bottom? Came with Mega Race?

I paid $300 dollars for a Diamond Monster 3D II (3Dfx Voodoo II 12MB PCI).

Edit: I got every penny back as pure action in Quake 2 accelerated with Glide.

I also spent roughly that amount on The Godfather, an Asus L1N64-WS. A 2 socket AMD opteron motherboard, it was the baddest motherboard I've ever had.

The most I've ever payed for a part for myself (I've spent other people's money many, many times, up to $200) is $85 for my *cough* 8800gs.
