Do you buy lower end computers or do you buy higher end computers? Any of you into high end tech or high end consumer PCs in the $2,000+ realm? ----- I spent over $3,000 (don't care to much saying this, but not fun to admit I guess to) on my PC this last time round. It's basically the best you can get for 1 Graphics card (since you can't stack much of the stuff anyways when it comes to multiple cards plus I'm not rich either). I own a $100 phone though and I don't spend money on TV or cable for that matter. So $50 a month over 3 years alone is $1,800 that I can put into a computer anyways or it pays for over half my computer alone. Plus the fact that a TV can be $500 to $1,000 or so. So that's basically $2,300 to $2,800 alone. I use all this money to put into a nicer higher end PC though, so I'm definitely not rich I just manage my tech / technology in a really strange way. ----- Add this to as well. If I get a new computer every 4 years (roughly). Cable Subscription - $50 a month ($2,400 over 4 years) TV - $500-$1,000 No Netflix / Hulu on the side. $10 a month or so ($480 over 4 years) Cheap cell phone plan $35 a month instead of $55-$65 a month - ($960 over 4 years) $2,400 + $480 + $960 = $3,840 $3,840 - over 4 years alone This alone to make it easy. I spent $3,100 (around here) on a computer, but I didn't spend $3,840 on the other stuff though. Not saying it's better financially and/or anything like that just showing that I put more weight into my PC and don't have cable or a TV myself right now or hulu / netflix and I have a cheaper cell phone plan. People like to think or assume I'm rich at that point. I spend $1500 to $2,000 for a PC when I buy myself though to as well so I just took about a third of that $3,840 ($1350) or so or did $1750 (pc originally) then added $1450 from the $3,840 at that point which came out to be about $3,100 for a new PC.
