How much have you spent so far on hardware this year?

Necrosis · Jun 25, 2007, 04:10 AM

I'm too embarrassed to say, but too much.

Under 500 for me

Just spend $350 on these parts:

Motherboard: MSI P6N Platinum

RAM: 2 GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 4-4-4-12

CPU: Core 2 Duo E6420 (going to do some major overclocking

)

All this due to my fried motherboard.. since I was still on Socket 754, might as well upgrade it all

(And as you can see, I'll be having these parts for quite some time.. not that big of a spender you see

)

Too much

This poll made me realize that I have an addiction.... ~ $2.5K

As I did probably make a good $700-$900 in selling the hardware i get bored of.

There is a lot of people with 4GB ram on these forums

yeah....about $1000 between new fans (4). My new RAM. My new X-fi soundcard. My g15 keyboard. My video card. the 5200+ X2 thats in the mail. OH GOD!!! I have to stop thinking about it.....ah crap I just remembered. Brand new latop $2000. Well hell so that makes about $3000.

looks like it is Ramen Noodles for me

Nothing.. my PC days are over. I'm happy with my current XP rig and will not be forced into buying a new overpriced, buggy O/S with DRM. I will not replace my mobo,ram,power supply and video card every 6 months anymore.. I'm sick of it. Enough is enough. Why bother when all the games are being made for consoles first and ported to the PC?.. bah.

Asmoday · Jun 26, 2007, 07:42 PM

Honestly....I haven't spent a dime on computer hardware during 2007 which is so not like me!

Edit: I forgot I bought a Linksys router last month..

Supradog · Jun 27, 2007, 08:47 AM

Between 1500 and 2500 and will probably stay in that range for the rest of the year. New motherboard, cpu, ram, psu, gfx card and dvd-rom. It's my first real upgrade in 3 years though.

**dj_stick** · Jun 27, 2007, 08:56 AM

tbh, i don't think i've spent any money on my machine this year

riles9262 · Jun 28, 2007, 12:12 PM

I've bought a cardreader this year

I'm also done with upgrading my pc time and time again. I don't play many demanding games anymore, and this pc still does fine with the rare ones that I try.

FalconFour · Jun 29, 2007, 03:09 AM

I can't afford any, this poll sucks.

Seriously. I can't think of a single thing I've bought... well... if you don't count the rebate freebies at CompUSA, like a 10/100 switch I didn't need, a wireless card, a few others... but not much :P

Pity, pity. I could sure use a new system...
