[djheater]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!?!?!?

I read just fine in lower case.

 

[vi edit]

Not counting monthly internet connection and the occassional game???

Um. I've spent $400 on hardware in the last 2.5 years....so I guess about $160 a year.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

counting the net connection....last year was my worst.... ~$2300

 

[monk3y]

I'd say on average around $200 a year.

 

[yakko]

Not as much as I would like.

 

[ViRGE]

Entirely too much.

 

[gunf1ghter]

You should make this a poll.

I average about $1200 on hardware a year... this year will be higher because I bought a $1000 LCD screen in addition to my typical mobo/cpu/ram/vid upgrades.

[gopunk]

About $1,000 buying upgrades, new systems, a new laptop which I don't need or will never use.

And I'm about to buy my sister's Birthday Present. Just can't decide if I should get the extended warranty or not.

I only venture into HD and OT so if you're anywhere else then you're safe from me.

 

[pyonir]

i spend enough so that i have a keyboard with a caps lock key that works.

 

[RossMAN]

pyonir - If you ever need an extra keyboard, lemme know. Every now and then Best Buy has a generic free after rebate Windows keyboard on sale.

How close are you to Scottsdale?

My 2001 Tax Returns say I spent $12,855.00 on Computers/Hardware/Software. I have the receipts. :Q

Since you are rich, buy the extended warranty for her (don't forget the double warranty with the CC) . . .

If you don't they will offer it to her anyway a couple of weeks later.

And I just can't say . . . I'd say way in excess of $1k a year (laptop last year was my "major" purchase).

nah, my keyboard is good. about 45 mins from scottsdale. depends on where in scottsdale.

If it were a Dell/Gateway/Micron then I wouldn't worry about a warranty but I'm sure her hacker wanna be boyfriend is gonna screw something up bigtime on HER PC.

Do you think $129 for a 3 year extended warranty is a good price? Will BB be around in 3 years?

 

[gunf1ghter]

Do I think that BB will be around for 3 years? Yes.

Do I think BB has techs that can fix most PC problems without doing a total reload? No.

Well I'm glad BB will be around in 3 years.

If she ever has to bring it in for repair I'll make sure she does a total backup first.

No and I sure hope not. :disgust:

For me 1 year manufacturer's warranty + 1 year free extended premium credit card warranty are plenty. Computer tend to become out of date within 2 years. And the most important part of the system - the monitor - usually carries a 3 year mfg. warranty.

 

[LiLRiceBoi]

Need money...

 

[b0mbrman]

Stop yelling, are you mad at me?

 

[BurnItDwn]

including my ISP and all my software, about 2500 to 3000 per year...
