What Does Your Rig Cost

[SirFooK'nG]

As the title says.... Right now, just using South African websites, calculate the cost of your rig. My wife always gives me hell about how I pawn of my old "cr@p" to her for her rig. So I sat down last night and showed her whats what... yes, I have a couple of bigger 'n better things, but her rig is pretty decent!

(There are a couple of old parts I cant find any more, so a bit of thumbsucking and old prices were used)

Hers:

His:

Mine (and frankly the only PC in my house at the moment)

E6400
Asus Commando board
2 gigs of OCZ DDR2 800Mhz Cas4 RAM
1 x 250gig hard drive
1 x DVD writer.
Aopen 500w PSU
1 x 24 inch Samsung LCD monitor.
1 speaker
An elcheapo mouse and keyboard.

Most of my stuff I can't even find the prices for anymore. This used to be my gaming rig and its around 5 or 6 years old and still rock solid. Since I don't game anymore (not by choice, got married and now have two rascals who demand my attention 24/7) this machine I use to surf the net mostly

1 speaker ... lol'd

btw, also use an el-cheapo keyboard!

 

[The_Ogre]

1 speaker ... lol'd

The other one is standing on the left hand of the monitor but I think it fell and is not working anymore

 

[The_Ogre]

Btw OP, you and your wife are real geeks! Almost 50k between the two of you for your PC's

 

[Jimmy-Z]

Mine costed somewhere between 30k & 40k. And took like 6 months to save up for & put together

Must be said that this is continuous, and timely upgrading, never all at once! I have had the two CPU's & Mobo's since Sandy Bridge was released.

In the last year I have had the Vertx 3 then later the Vertex 4, Went from a GTX 280 to HD 6870 to the GTX 670. Ram went from OCZ 2 X 2gb to 2 X 4gb Vengeance. I blew my original Mobo (twice) it was an Asus P8P67 Pro I used to have a Coolermaster V8 CPU cooler in my Q6600 rig, but did not have LGA1555 brackets for it, so I got the V6GT, then gave that to the wife and got the Antec Khuler.... So this is an ongoing thing

As for sound, I tried so many 5.1 headsets, USB type with own audio chipsets, to onboard 5.1 types. Eventually I fell in love with the Asus Xonar Xense and had to get it. Love it beeg time. Clarity galore!

I live on my PC ... so geek... maybe! I dunno how much all my "tech" toys are worth nowdays!

 

[ChocolateBadger]

15K Only AMD, Asus and Corsair parts. They work well together

 

[InternetSwag]

Mobo R1699
Box R799
GPU R2669
RAM R349*2 = R698
DVD Writer R219
CPU R1399
Sound Card R199
PSU R1099

What else? We including monitors? Surround sound systems?

About R8600

 

[SirFooK'nG]

only thing I didnt add in my build price (forgot about it - never use it any more) was my DVD drive....

 

[GreyBush]

R20K give or take a few hundred.

 

[SirFooK'nG]

I always knew I spent a bit much on PC shyte, but I kinda shocked myself ....

 

[S1ght]

Hmm..

CPU: Intel i5 2500K - 1500
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 - 1200
RAM: 4x Corsair 2gig DDR3 1333 - 1000
Case: Coolermaster CM692 - 600

Gcard: Asus GTX680 - 5000
Speakers: Logitech Z5500 - 3200
SDD: OCZ Vertex 3 120gig - 1500
HDD: Seagate 1TB - 800
PSU: Corsair CX600 - 600
DVD: LG DVD Writer - 150
Keyboard: Logitech Illuminated - 700

So around R19 450 it seems. These are only rough estimates based off memory though.
