If you where to build your current rig today, how much would it cost you?

[Adul]

That doesnt include speakers, mice, kb, etc

Not to shabby for me.

 

[AdamRader]

$1485.78 if tax free, shipping free, and monitor, kb, mouse, speaker, peripheral free. =) (/me hugs hot deals forum)

 

[bplamondon]

My current machine would cost... $747 (bought in sept. 03 and paid around $1000 for it)

The one Im building costs closer to $1500

 

[splice]

I think my dually 2600+ rig would be right around $1000

over $1,000 on newegg right now. Paid about $700 half a year ago, gotta love hotdeals...

 

[Markfw]

Well, I did just build it, and it was about $5000 $3487 not counting any drives or monitor or speakers ! and I have almost $1000 in just SCSI.

 

[Ladies Man]

It would probably cost me alittle bit more than a taco, but less than 2 tacos

 

[eLiu]

$250, tops...even then you'd end up with a better system, b/c I dont' think they sell 1.2ghz thunderbirds anymore. Some of the other parts are upgraded though (i.e. barton-ready motherboard...biostar m7ncd, radeon 9600pro, 160gb 8mb HD), so yeah...$250 tops.

Counting my original cost + cost of replacement parts (some stuff broke, hence upgrades), I've spent maybe $800-900 total on this box. Not too shabby methinks.

Markfw900, your list of computers is impressive...good lord :Q

 

[yadda]

Markfw900

That is one smokin' box.

I don't like thinking about things like this because it always makes me sick. Depreciation....

:disgust:

 

[Markfw]

yup, just have to spend another 5k in a few years....

 

[Lonyo]

Probably around £1000
It originally cost £1150 2 years ago without monitor, and has been upgraded almost continually since.
