Barton 3200+ when they first came out. That and a NF7-S v2... (can't remember the price tag tho - and I don't think I want to :()
common lets us know the cash u laid out :D
It's so long ago the invoice is no longer listed on my account :(
At a guess though, it was probably around £350 for board & processor...
(oh, and don't you mean spare?)
7800 gtx the week it came out :D
almost 400 quid i think
My dad got me the original nvidia Geforce card...I can't remember how much it was but it was a lot lol
Forgot about that, before the GeForce series came out, I had the top TNT2 card :undecided
I had an S3 virge and some kind of accelerator i think..those were the days haha
Remember a game called screamers...i got probably 4 or 8 extra MB of RAM and that allowed the commentator to say like 8 more things!! That was an amazing day :lol:
now i feel old..only 20 though haha
I'm 19, jus didn't get into computers until I was 13-14 heh.
£620 for Dell 2407
£1692 for Dell XPS M1210
My 3007, about 800quid iirc :O_o1:
Most spent was around 2K for my 386SX33 (woo). Biggest waste of cash was my reelmagic card (anyone remember them!!??!!). So really now I can't laugh at the uselessness of physX cards because that was just as bad.
full system = £1,800 for a P133 (i payed £1000, my dad payed the rest. I was 15 at the time)
For a single component i think it was about £350 for a Plextor 8x2x20 SCSI drive. Along with a Plextor UltraPlex 40x, Pioneer DVD-ROM and Adaptec 2940 SCSI card
EDIT: but in recent times it would be the £900 Canon 350D kit, or ~£400 each for two lenses
