i voted under $150, caus thats in my main rig, i have $75 right now. and thats with an asrock a64 mobo, 2800, 512 stick of pc3200 cas2 and a gf fx 5500u :-D got a great deal from a person in great need of money. but if that was to count the laptop and all the money in that, it is over the 775 mark. got like 800 in the lappy right now, and another 250 in my digi m but i dont think that really counts.
 
um lets see, 6600GT from old system, motherboard, 550 cpu, XP 90, Mx 700, now old vid card now not good enough, so I get a 6800GT. Now I need a better gaming mouse, MX518, a little better cooling, 2 more fans, a little better lighting, 2 more led fans and on and on, on......... LOL.
 
not sure if i've already posted in this thread or not... ah well

i bought all the parts for my pc tin february, that was about $1600, plus i just got a new sound card for $60... i'm not planning on spending much more on it for a while, other than misc bits and pieces.
 
havent really calculated how much i spent upgrading and modding my RIG,when you have a wife who is allergic to Fedex and UPS truck for sure you'll lost track, let me just tell you the upgrade i made.

P4 3.4C to 3.2E to 3.4E
P4P800SE to P4C800ED
Corsair TWINX1024-3200XL to TWINX1024-4400C25
 
X800Pro, TDX, Clearflex Tubing, Heatercore, DD Res, Eheim Pump, 120mm fan, Razer Diamondback.

Not sure, some was second hand.

More to come within this year i'm sure.
 
Well I spend over 1k, it's hard to believe but just in the past year, I got three athlon xp-m 2600+, 4x512mb sticks of ram 4x256mb, a powercolor 9800pro a 6800nu, three nf7 series board a AN7, a si-97 tornado about 15 fans, a new case and psu, dvd burner, some of the stuff either broke or was sold but I have definatelly spend a lot of money.
 
I have spent about $250 so far on my system, but I was at college half the time (or student teaching) and my computer has been down for weeks at a time, so we shall see how much that figure grows.
 
Way, Way over $775.00 so far, but it's hard to say what is my system. I always seem to have 1 or 2 systems being built all the time and 2 or 3 that I consider mine.
When I find things I like I keep them and sell the rest.
 
well over $775CAD.

1GB OCZ GOLD pc3200 VX, DFI Ultra Ifinity NF2 mobo, XFX 6800, Swiftech MCP-655, Lian Li PC-V1000, Seagate 160GB Sata HDD, mCubed T-Balancer (with a bunch of extra accessories).

but i am happy :)
