    Probably my RAM - 1gig of crucial for £115 which i know is the normal price but such an improvement over the 256 i had before

    My SilenX PSU and arctic cooler together have made my PC a much niver thing to use too!

    I thought about saying my 2500xp-m @ 2.6ghz but then I spent best part of £300 on watercooling so without that might not be as spectacular.

    Probably my mx500, had it... can't even remember, and its still the best mouse I have ever used, might have to take it to work at xmas (gonna ask 'rents for mx1000).

    Well I would say the old industrial copper and alu radiator that I got for free and together with the rest of my watercooling setup (which cost me a total of £20) keeps my cpu nice and cool.

    Of the things I have actually paid for I'd probably say my 1GB Corsair XMS pro which was expensive but will certainly survive my next upgrade .

    I've got the MX1000, i thought about putting it as my best value part but i don't think it's at it's best without a decent mousemat which i dont have yet

    Doesn't matter how much it cost... this thing rocks, nuff said.

    About £100 IIRC, definitely not more.
