So how much??
 

We are just a little over halfway through 2009. How much have you spent on parts this year? I'll be waiting on some of these :eek::eek::eek:

Well shhht. Goin to have to do some adding. I just spent another $140 today on two new GPU's. They are top secret and goin to the mod shop! I will be back soon with some estimates.

$450 - Classified
$300 - DFI UT
$325 - 920
$485 - GTX 295
$140 - Top Secret
$155 - HyperX
$265 - Ascents
$209 - Monitor
$100 - 4 Lime Green Fans

$2240 so far, I know there is more.

$400 - Blades (sent back for refund)
$265 - 1st set of Ascents (sent back for refund)
$??? - 2 DFI UT's (sent back for refund)

There is more I just have to remember. This isn't including all the money spent and sent back on RMA's. Thanks alot chuchnit as now it is all wrote down in one place and looks worse. I seriously have a problem.

hahaha that's the point.

This isn't counting how much I spent on shipping for the 100 RMA's I have done this year!!! I said it the other day after I bought the GTX 295 that I was taking a break from buying hardware for at least two months. Well I am saying it today after the GPU's I bought to day. I swear!

It's like drugs man. I haven't spent near as much as you, but I have definitely spnet more than I should have. Oh well, it's fun.

Well I planned on being in the 400-450 point club with my GTX 295 but now plan on being in the 500 point club with my newest purchase. We'll see.

hehehe always plottin and sceaming huh? :D I can't wait to see all the money these NBOC guys have spent. They got some really nice rigs floatin around. Not to mention all the SS that sdumper has built them.

Way to much :eek:

Not as much as spent on cooling hardware and what not tho.
This is not a cheap weekend either :shock:

If it makes you feel any better, here is a breakdown of my wishlist.

2x tek 9 5.0 - $370
2x gtx295 - $800
3x Asus top 4890 - $660
1x Enermax 1250w - $350
1x Mushkin Accent $250
5x IDE HDD's for pcie clocks :D - $190

Total - $2620

Cooling hardware counts too :good:

I will ask please for the sake of our insanity though to keep your number to yourself. :rofl It might scare people away. Hell even your SSD+Raid card might :rofl J/K Buckeye. Just pokin' and having fun.

Not too much but thats because of being in between jobs all year.

2x REX RMAs- $50 in shipping
1x 8600- $125
1x Kingston Hypers- $190
1x DFI DK x58- $190
1x 30l dewar- $200
1x 3870- <$100?

Well I know how much that pot was he was holding. I can only imagine the price of the dewars. Speaking of dewars, think that is next on my list as I get jealous at times seeing all these LN2 runs. Me wants!

Where did you snag the dewar from? Fleebay?

GA Extreme - $475 (CAD)
eVGA 3x Sli - $200 (CAD used)
2x eVGA GTX285 - $1100 (CAD)
1x eVGA 260 216 - $385 (CAD)
i7 920 C0 - $380 (CAD)

GSkil Pi Black 2000 CAS9 - $200 (CAD used)
Enermax Revolution 1050w - $375 (CAD)
bunch of water cooling shit - $300 (CAD)

and more other crap I can't remember.

hahaha I can't wait to see some of your SS guys busted budgets :D God this isn't a cheap hobby huh?

This on top of owning two Chevelle SS 396's and a decent guitar collection....it's probably the cheaper of the three lol.

Selling one of the SS's though so that should help.

Yeah I was going to say back when I was hitting the truck/car scene and buying parts every week this is the cheaper of the two.

I do not know how much I spent and I do not want to know

In truth though, probably not much. I tend to flip hardware alot to keep prices down, and why I say I "rent" my computer, rather than own it.
