The Question is how much money have u spent overclocking + modding ur system?

Then have them post if there happy with the performance they got out of it spending the money they spent?

 

[Mr. $T$]

New P4 system, let that say how much I spent



>$775

 

[madcow235]

It was full upgrade year in 2003 so it was well over $775. In 2004 i have spent $200

 

[9mmCensor]

As it does not specify which kind of dollars I made it into the 750+ bracket for my Barton 2500 system, as it was like 900 CDN.

 

[bettsr]

I went well over the $750 mark. All kinds of new goods.

Happy with the performance? Very much so!!!

 

[Randy]

I've spent well over 775.00 on gear this past year.

 

[Skiing Squirrel]

Oh hell. Can we have an option that just says too much-stopped counting/caring?

 

[Subaru]

Heh, bought all my parts and put them together myself. Cost a whooping $2700 for the tower alone. I think it might be more, but oh-well.

Can't take the money with you when you die, so might as well use it!

Please, dear god tell me that's WITH parts.

Anyways, 2004 I spent about $300, but that's really the last of my big spending for a few years.

The year has only just begun. Thus, I have only just begun to spend my $$$ on modding/OCing. I got a Zalaman 7000 series cooler for xmas.

Two years ago, I spent over $300 on one system for water cooling. Ironically, it was the only machine lost in a house fire. (Think about it)

 

[ThePunkGeek]

i'm around $600... (after you take off the money i made back selling the old stuff) if that didn't count i'm way over 775

 

[Aslan]

I'm around $650 US, so around $825 CDN, almost done, but I still have to buy a new HD, so it will be around $750 US total.

As for whether I'm satisfied, I guess I am, but I'm sure that all of us wish that we got a higher OC that what we have now.

[rogerdugans]

Well, since this year is 2004....
$120 USD so far.

$50ish A Swiftech 5002 water block. Not happy with performance yet, but the mATX system it's in is hampered by 3/8" ID tubing and radiator. Future updates at some point should fix that.

$30ish two 80mm Mechatronics fans and a pump relay: fans for a silent air-cooled system, relay for one of my H2O systems. Haven't received them yet, but I am certain of satisfaction being familiar with both those fans and the relay.

$40 A new (used) cpu. Haven't recieved it yet, but I am certain to be satisfied.

Last year....I will toss out a rough guesstimate of about $1500 USD (+/- ) spread out among 7 machines one of which has been dissassembled (modded briefcase pc).
Very happy with everything I've done, except for the old mobo I scratched and destroyed. (Note: I was able to salvage parts from that one to replace burnt caps on another.)

 

[beau_safken]

New watercooling setup.... 246 dollars

 

[seamadan000]

512 megs of RAM and some fans were about it, so less than $150, and I am very happy

 

[adrian nelson]

mobo,cpu,ram,cooler NZ$800 (US$400)

[DayUSeX]
