How much did you spend on YOUR PC?
« on: October 10, 2009, 08:44:28 pm »

If I were to buy all of the parts when they were released, it would come up to around $700+. But if I were to buy all of the parts now, it would come to...$400 or $500?

$800, probably ~$700 now (I bought everything refurbished, diminishing its value).

I spent about a k on my computer when I got it, but then later bought a second monitor and a mouse that doesn't blow. This isn't including case, hard drives, disc drives etc which I already had lying around.

Now it'd probably run for ~650 without the monitors.

A little over $1000 here. I wanted a powerhouse for the kind of things I do with it.

Approx $2,000. The reason being that I haven't bought a new computer in many years, and all the upgrades and parts add up to quite a hefty sum. Graphic card and hard drive upgrades are the biggest cash guzzlers.

If I were to buy all the parts now it would probably be marked at about $1,000.

my current PC was an upgrade which cost 900$US

If i were to calculate the brand new value it would have to be over 3000$ for all parts that make up my PC

quad core machine :d

im about to get a second comp which blends two computers of my accumulative parts, the gaming one will be quad core ; the comp will shit on my current one for about half that "3000" dent in my wallet.

I spent $1500CAN on my laptop, and it was $200 dollars off. I love how I can game and do my school work where ever I want.

I went with an eee in addition to the aforementioned comp about 6 months ago at 300 dollars. I'm really happy with the portability of the thing, and I didn't even think that would be an issue at first. I sometimes think that having an expensive laptop that could play games would be awesome, but realistically it'd probably be too much of a distraction during school.

Howdy everyone, its been a while lol. College and chilling in New York and New Jersey, made me busy by not to visiting this site for a while and other things got in the way.

Anyhow, I believe I spent $300- $400 on my custom built pc. I traded a Nvidia 7900GT for a AMD Phenom Quad Core and that was like free. The 7900 cost me $40 on craigslist.

Good deal I think it was, considering I needed to move from a AMD Athlon 64 4000 to a Quad.
