Cash outlay for Hardware ?

[Sheriff]

I know I'm a glutton for Hardware so how much have you spent annually in US $'s for your personal Rig/Upgrade? I've spent so much I've lost count, but I know it's over a Grand 😱

dammit I hate thinking about this....


so much I've lost count...
...if I tried I could probably tally everything up, but I don't want to

 

[Corporate Thug]

i spend way more than i should

 

[Spac3d]

I don't upgrade until something breaks

Not too bad at all for me last year.... maybe $300 at most.
This year it's likely to jump up to about $700-800 and possible a bit more as I've a few upgrades to make.

Software tends to hit me much harder then hardware does.
