Hmm, paid $65 for the board a couple years ago, $50 for the CPU and heatsink from a buddy of mine in Toronto, $60 shipped for the PSU, $60 for the hard drive (after rebates), $30 for the case, $130 for the video card just over a year ago, $35 maybe for the DVD burner... the combo drive, fans, and cables were free. Got three 21" CRTs for $90, using two of them on here.
The second computer, man, I forget. Too much. I made up for that, since the 1 GHz system, the Tbird, didn't cost me a dime - the only thing I didn't scavenge or have given to me was the case, which I traded for another old case I wasn't using. And the Power Mac cost me $10 and came with a Huge Box O' Software.
That, as they say, is that.
So far, I've put in about $1500 for mine I think. Somewhere around there.
When I get an 8800GTS, my WC setup, and new monitor (then I'll have all new components) it'll probably be around $2200. Not too bad considering this is why I got my job in the first place.
RIP Bucko
I think in total mine sits around 1800 including monitor and all.
