How much do you spend on Hardware each year?

@ 2003/03/28

My wife thinks I spent too much on hardware,
but I think I don't spend enough, I always have to buy budget things (radeon 9000, ECS K7S6A motherboard).
Since I can not spend a lot of money, I do more research in wat I buy, I can't afford to make mistakes.

But that's what you get when you're married, and have a house to pay off.

add another 4000 € for my laptop (paid by work). So i guess it's around 8000 € this year.

work pays everything

Comment from Da`Hitch @ 2003/03/31

If I were to count from last year, 'till now, I'd have to say something around 3500-4000€
although I did sell a lot of my old hardware this year, I don't really know where I got all of that money =/
It's a good thing I don't have any other hobby's....

but I think other years I think I'm around 1000-2000€

Comment from illusion @ 2003/03/31

last year about 4000 €.

and i'm also married, got 2 kids and a house to pay off, so what, pfrtz, like Calantak says, you only live once and if i die tomorrow i aint gonna take my cash with me in the ground...

If I choose one of both answers, I'll get in trouble.
So I will stick to "No comment"
