for me back in the day it was a 700mhz AMD slot Athlon at the price of £400 !!!!

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
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
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
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
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

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
