    Id hate to go back and look threw all my receipts cos id cry at how much i really did spent
    I know i was in the £3000 mark just with my tower and if i add all the extras like my tv that is use as a monitor i think i might be hitting close to $4500 maybe even £5000
    Of course now its quite out dated it probably be able to rebiuld the sme system for around £900

    Mine including mouse and cooling pad is $950 CDN. It is low though, because I only have a mid-grade laptop. I will probably update in August/September and buy something better.

    I think my set up cost just under £500 and it included the wide screen monitor a keyboard and mouse, although I swapped the mouse for my optical wheel mouse.

    Only problem is that it's actually going to cost me just over £600 as the only way I could have a Vista machine was to buy it from my mail order catalogue and pay for it over 3 years, hence the reason why I can't buy Windows 7 for a while

    Don't worry Joan, since windows 7 has already proven itself at such an early stage, you should just buy the OEM version and install it on your Vista machine, it'll work fine me thinks

    Re: what it cost ya? :)

    .....i dread to think how much cash i spend on components.....


    im also a sucker for a deal, & if it sounds to good to be true it usually is (as my pocket has all too often found out)....so its a ''work in progress'' really


    easily £1.500 in the last 2 years if not more, i tend to burn out components pretty quick unfortunately..
