Probably around the £300 mark although spending about another £500-£600 in the next 2 months ram tft & new gfx (maybe).
Hardly nowt, I reckon. Spent £1500 getting my new PC, but that was all done late 2003. Maybe a new keyboard, Razor Boomslang 2100, Black Ice Mat, and that's about it.
I used to run a duron 900mhz, pc133 ram, etc.
This year i now have:
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
AMD 1700+ @ 3200+ (200fsb)
Aero7+ CPU Cooler
Twinmos 512MB Pc3200 (2x256Mb) Dual DDR
52X CDRW
Seagate 120GB HDD
Cheap eBuyer case.
Round IDE cables.
GeForce4 MX 440
Which cost me a grand total of about £230. Other people paid for some stuff.
tomorrow i'm selling the GF4 for a stupidly high £60, and getting a better PSU to handle the hardware. Will be running a cheapo graphics card until i can scrounge a decent one for next to nothing.
just like many people i'd imagine, i've spent more than i should have, but nowhere near as much as i'd like
2004 is far from over yet tho
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
Ahh crap forget my dvd writter so maybe its £400 so far lol
£0 cant be arsed!
£0 so far this year, although last year it was over £2000. Just about to get a A63 3200 system though, so it will be around £500 soon
Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
£0 yet this year my rig cost me a load last year though...
I'm damn proud of my machine now. It's ridiculously powerful and more than I'll ever need!

Now go away before I taunt you a second time.
Three rounded IDE cables from ebuyer.com, which came to £5.37 inc. P&P.
