List how much your system cost (by parts) and what you are running at

[lMlHuxley]

I always like a thread like this every now and then. Lets see what you paid and what you are running at

Soyo Dragon case w/ keyboard 30$
Microsoft Optical mouse 30$
plextor px-504a 4x dvdrw 70$
lite-on 52x cdrom 20$
Barton Athlon XP 2800+@12.5 x200=2.425ghz 50$ (100$ for the cpu and a kt600 that i sold for 50$ )
Sapphire Radeon 9800 pro@ 400mhz core clock/ 350mhz memory clock 210$@newegg
standard floppy 10$
DFI NF2 Ultra Infinity 100$
Audigy 2 zs 30$ (Was 30$ off w/ motherboard purchase and a 50$ MIR I bought the DFI then)
3x 2700 333mhz 512MB DDR Kingston valueram@I cant remember 195$
ATA 133 card 30$
21 inch flat screen Sun Sony Trinitron monitor 150$ (purchased from work from a corporate buyout)
Maxtor 160gb 95$
Seagate 120gb 75$
Western Digital 20gb 30$ (for my main OS to keep it speedy)
Antec True Blue PSU 90$
Windows XP 80$ (from fs/ft forum)
standing fan 10$ (a poor mans cooling system..that works very well actually)

So all in all with OS and Monitor this stuff cost 1305$. Not too bad for a top of the line system. I am happy with all my purchases and couldn't be happier with the performance of it all. I guess you linux guys got a one up on us though . Post what you got!

 

[lMlHuxley]

I guess I am alone in these threads :*(

 

[EeyoreX]

I guess I am alone in these threads :*(

My guess is that even many of the geekiest geeks here do have lives and other, better things to do on a Friday night than hang around the computer forums. Not me. I am at work. Also, I think you will probably live if you have to wait a little more than 2 hours for a reply.

I personally don't care about these threads. Nor do I even begin to remember what I paid for most of my parts. Mostly I get good deals, and that is that.

[lMlHuxley]

Wow, do you really not like me or something? I am new here and I thought it would be fun to try to fit into the community...sorry man. I have my sisters college graduation and have to get up at 6am and figured it would be cool to have a nice system thread. Once again, sorry.

 

[n0cmonkey]

I have no life, and I'm at work. But I don't remember costs well. I'll try though, just for the hell of it.

And lMlHuxley, just ignore the comments. Most of the time they read differently than they were typed (intended). So it's probably not worth getting into.

Athlon XP Mobile 2400 (running at stock speeds) $70
512MB Mushkin DDR3200 $89
