How much did your PC cost you?

mine cost me 3973.79 for the whole thing.

As I sit up in my bed looking at all the stars, I begin to wonder... WHERE THE HECK IS MY ROOF!?

I paid about $700 for mine I got a couple weeks ago. XP 2500+, DFI nForce2 Ultra400 motherboard, GeForce4 Ti4200 video card, Samsung 19" CRT monitor, Antec Sonata quiet desktop case, Samsung DVD/CD-RW combo. Not top of the line, but enough for what I need it for.

The man of steel said that

Athlon 3200, fx 5700 Ultra, 2x Seagate 120g SATA(raid 0), MSI kt6 Delta, 1024 MB 3200, cute looking case, HP dvd rw, Samsung dvd, Coolermaster Jet7 fan, Lgitech media keyboard , Logitech MX700 mouse, Creative Gigaworks S700 speakers. This all cost me £164.56. The price I paid for a Athlon thunderbird 1.4 when they first hit the streets a while ago. The rest of the parts where all freebies as incentives for best salesman, then I just wait for price of newer and better stuff to come down then take em back refund at original price and use cash for upgrades. The comp has been many different machines over the years but that is what it is now. Next upgrade will be When the Athlon 64's hit the price I got my 3200 for. The 3000 is only £2.00 away but I will wait for the 3200 to come down.

Well, it's hardly my fault that everyone chose that morning to throw themselves off buildings! Made the papers, you know. "Lemming Sunday," they called it.

My computer seems to be one constant upgrade, so its hard to decide how much it cost me. In the last 5months I have bought:
2x120g 7200.7s Bday pressie
Globalwin Saf420 PSU £109
Abit AI7 Exmas Pressie
Asetek water cooling kit £217
Chieftec Case £60
P4 2.6c £70 (Ebay)
Getting 9800pro on tues £155
So thats £611 in total which = about 115hours working at waitrose....bugger

P4c 2.6@3.25
512Mb PC4000
2x120Gb 7200.7 in RAID0
Waterchill KT12-L30
Abit AI7
Ge-Force4 Ti4200

Somewhere in the $1,500.00 US range, just for the tower itself, it wasn't all bought at once though, its been a constant upgrade path with my wife inheriting the best of the discards along the way, and selling off her leftovers as we go.

Unless that's a Canadian $ quote in which case, that sounds reasonable.

Intelligence is not merely the wealth of knowledge but the sum of perception, wisdom, and knowledge.

I'm still in 11th so application and all starts after september (early action). I basically visited it this vacation and decided I really like it. I think I have a chance to get in, but problem is no one from my school has been accepted in 15 years lol! I guess it's time to break traditions and get really pissed off...

Congrats on ur acceptances, and good luck on the ones to come! I hear it is a real pain but I'll go full out on MIT cause I really want to go there. Met with some of the faculty, checked out what they have there, and it seems like a place where u can push ur mind to the limit enjoyably. What are you looking to major in?

I applied to 3 different programs at 4 different universities: Computer Engineering, Software Engineering and Computer Science. What major are you looking to apply to?

Well, it's not becoming worthless, it's just not as big as it was a couple of years ago before the tech bubble burst. Tech careers in general have slowed down a bit. However, computer science is still a big field. It is also still a young field. Specializations such as AI are still in their infancy. MIT's AI Lab is legendary.

You have a point, but for sheer programming, there are too many people it seems. I will go ahead with comp science but will be cautious. Lol, I need to get my head out of the clouds, thinking about all this college stuff is making me forget about school!

Can't argue there. Building robots is fun!
