Yeah if I get a hobby, I won't spare any expense. Though bills take priorty so I've never been in debt or not paid a debt. I just end up with less to spend on my hobby.

I've easily spent over $1000 designing a costume.

Wow, lot's being happening (haven't been getting emails for new posts).

My clock's just a basic battery powered one in a half decent case. It's there so I can see the stupid amount of time I've been spending on the computer.

I've just spent a whole lot more on parts for a major upgrade:

£169 - EVGA 780i motherboard
£169 - Laing DDC Ultra water pump with XSPC top, Swiftech Apogee GTX CPU waterblock, Aquacomputer Aquagrafx G92 GPU waterblock, 3 slot length SLI block connector

That takes the total to £2805.12


And at the moment I'm looking at buying a Dell Poweredge 1750 and colocating it as a game server.
