1) you system rigs link is wrong
2) you wasted about 2.5k on that computer not including the LCD and games and things like external hard drives, mice, keyboards, battery backups, etc..
3) my car didnt cost 4.5k

biggest thing i have purchased in the last year was most likely the Sigma 100-300 f/4 EX IF HSM about $900

Man, you must have been trying hard to spend $4.5k on a computer.

Spent a little coin on this

Biggest? My pond, I guess. It's around 1/2 acre and ran a little over 3k for excavator rental, pipe for the overflow, etc.
If that doesn't count, then it'd be my wood chipper (big, PTO driven, tree eating monster.) It was around $1600.
Today I had to go buy a new water heater. That ran about $400 for the tank and parts.
