I wish I could say that I spend a lot.

Truth is, I dont. Dad does :D

But even then, all have been minor upgrades since last may when I got my speakers and soundcard.

Stuff like NV Silencer 5, G7 (birthday present from Dad), QCK (my own savings :D ), etc...
 
Well.. Last year i spent like 60,000..

About 80,000 this year.... and im surely gonna be spending much more, from my own pocket, since ill be earning soon :/..... Crap...
 
Funny that lot of Americans consider Graphic card upgrades as a costly affair when even the high end ones wouldnt even be 10% of the incomes of even middle class people living there...Whereas for many of us it turns out to be half our salaries.

Now if I we cud get 8800GTX for roughly 10% (say 5k) of our monthly earnings how would it look like...8800GTX for 5k...wow...

lucky Amercians....we can never have their standard of living sighhh.

Once you start earning,and you don't depend on your parents for upgrades, zoooommmmmmmmmmmm...... that's the sound of my money disappearing from my bank account...

Absolutely correct in my case too except that mine dosnt make any sound at all..:rofl: :rofl:.

It looks like I am spending more than I earn :rofl: 1.25L earnings and 1.8L spent in the last 3 months.

I spent like 75k for computer upgrades in the last 3 months courtesy of Dell and ATi and more to spend in Jan and again in March. Damn, why do nVidia and ATi make a new GPU every 6 months :@
 
This year i have spent like 40k from my pocket after selling old parts. Not bad looking at what config i have now.
 
ummmm, am still in college, my source of money is my parents and grandparents and not to forget my little brother to whom i still owe 5k:ashamed: .

Won't be upgrading anything till next year november, just giving my sources sometime to breath lol:P .

The amount i spent for my comp this year comes to Rs.61500 appx. :) and arnd 22k for mobile and digi cam :)

^^^ omg!!!:S :( .

edit: now who started this thread :@, i ain't gonna sleep today :'(

No upgrades till next november.... hmmmmm... Reading this makes me remember of a pal who said that he wouldnt upgrade his proc (3000+) and gfx card (6600gt) till start of next year when vista comes out... his name is divya:rofl: :bleh: :tongue:
 
Was not able to help it re, my dad went to sg, so bought the 1900XT and 3000+ seems to be a bottleneck for the 1900XT so bought a X2 3800+ :P. Even my 17" CRT seems to be bottleneck for the card but can't help it.
 
Really dont spend that much...just on crucial upgrades like hdd's :D :D (have 10 now)
And the once in a while upgrading the pc thing....so this year maybe i have spent about 30k on the comp part...

Dude, do not forget that some of the basic expenses that are barely 10% of a regular middle class guy's salary here come close to 50% for a regular American middle class guy... (Rent, groceries, parking etc.) thereby leaving you with a higher disposable income (as a % of ur income) at the end of the month :P
