my newegg car

[itznfb]

so i was looking back through my newegg invoices... first one being 6/6/2003 :D
totaling :: $14,785.54
just newegg alone :rolleyes:

i could have put a nice down payment on my car with that :p:

how much have you given newegg??

[road-runner]

I am scared to add it up...

[iadstudio]

$3k in 16 months

[itznfb]

i've spent aprox $3285/yr, so i guess its not that bad lol

[twilyth]

I am scared to add it up...
Definitely. It's like food you pick off someone else's plate - the calories don't count if you don't know about them. :rolleyes:

[Den Leiw]

better let the wives/gfs not know this -.-

[leoftw]

I usually don't like buying from them since they charge tax (8.25%) for me so I usually buy stuff from other places if possible. IE: Motherboardpro , Tigerdirect :yuk: , etc . Places where I won't get charged tax if you get what I'm saying .

[Fujimitsu]

OH lord... I don't even want to look! I could afford to not work while I'm in school if I hadn't spent all taht money :(

[Martijn]

I had a quick peek in my file... I spent like €3.5k the last 2 years. And I'm only 17 :shakes:

[eToh]

I usually buy my parts on ebay and occasionaly from newegg.

Tax adds up after awhile.

I would say about 5k.

I won't even go there:shakes:

but it is so much fun:yepp:

[Magnj]

I don't remember my old account but on this one it is only like 750. But I know that I bought my whole PC there so thats at least 1200...so probably only like 2000$ in the last 3 years.

[itznfb]

oh man, i was hoping there were going to be a bunch of people that blew my numbers away!

[Tortel]

Ive spent about $1500 in just under a year, and it will only go up more from here :P

[twilyth]

itznfb;2625366']oh man, i was hoping there were going to be a bunch of people that blew my numbers away!
There might be but we're afraid to look - my current account only goes back about 3.5 months and that's just under $4k. So I don't really want to dig too deep.

[Kayin]

Somewhere just under 4k in a little over a year. Should be more at tax time...

[BlueAqua]

My total came up to 5795.30 since 8/1/2003. I was curious how much money I've paid through paypal and came up to about the same since I buy a lot of second hand parts, YIKES!

[Planet]

Newegg orders totaled 4500. Zipzoomfly around 2500. Monarch when they were still around prolly 1500 to 2000. Then I also bought alot on ebay, forums, and other places. Prolly in the same ballpark as thread starter.

[phelan1777]

I spent a little under 5K since 03 @NE

Monarch, about 5-700

ZZF 3-400

Here in the F/S section...........4-500

Anandtech F/S section............2-300

Ebay around 200-/+

do the math, it adds up quickly.

This doesn't include water cooling @x MCW60s, 15+ Fans, 2X Pa 120.3s, RD-30, Storm G5, 2XMCW30s, tubing, accessories, case materials for modding 150$ for powder coating.

I can spend a bit of time accounting for costs.

Oh and 200 for Cougar HOTAS setup. Its worth the money though.

[itznfb]

horay for cptplanet and phelan, you guys made me feel a little better :p

[Movieman]

app $30K in the last 3 years..:rofl: maybe more..:p:

[itznfb]

where's DDTung :p

[Polizei]

And I thought I spent a lot... About $2300 in a year and a half at Newegg, $350 at ZZF.

All of you just convinced me to get a new motherboard soon... I havent spent that much in comparison to you guys.

[Nanometer]

$6,600 :( I could already have the new car I wanted :(

[Soulburner]

I don't want to look. I will assume its somewhere north of $10k...

[TSXmike]

not bad... $1967.10 in 3 years

[One_Hertz]

about 6-8k/year on hardware averaged over the last few years, which is when I joined XS :o

[smopoim86]

Personally, 800 or so in the past year but I do some work for a friend that we have ordered prolly 5k in the past year

[Zytek_Fan]

Mine is gonna get ugly soon :p:

I'm expecting a few $k :p:

[[XC] leviathan18]

we have here in venezuela a limit to spend $ so we get a max per person of 3000$ so i usually go around asking for people to spend their share of $

so this year in amazon and ebay and some other stores i spent south 20k just 2 days ago i blew 2950$ just in amazon

[road-runner]

Since Oct 06 I have built 7 Dual Core rigs, and 3 Quad rigs (2 water cooled)

Bring that power over to the XS WCG team - if you haven't already. :up:

So basically each person can only buy 3000$ worth of products from other countries? :confused:

[NapalmV5]

if i add up all the $ spent the past 10 years, i'd be driving an orange Lambo instead of an orange 350Z :(

[[XC] leviathan18]

yes.... internet use and for travel is 5000$ per year

[teyber]

holy crap!

im only 16 years old... 8.5k$!!! this is about 2 years... omg...

[DTU_XaVier]

I've probably spent about 6k€ over the last 4 years, no precise numbers though...

Best Regards :toast:

[xlink]

roughly $3k USD over the last two years.

but I sold away $1400 worth, so not too bad

[DShankar]

if i add up all the $ spent the past 10 years, i'd be driving an orange Lambo instead of an orange 350Z :(
You mean you've spent over $100,000 in the past 10 years on just computers?! 10k+ per year!?

Ouch man, I'd love to have a Lambo instead of a 100 computers!

[teyber]

before everybody cries to much, think about if you have mdae computers for somebody else? that took about 4k off my 8.5k list...

[Miwo]

$3200~ since 2003

not bad :)

Only problem is thats just Newegg, and I usually avoid Newegg because of Sales Tax in NJ. lol

[thunderstruck!]

leviathan18;2629113']yes.... internet use and for travel is 5000$ per year
How is this even regulated? Who would know if you used your MasterCard to order something from amazon?

[Kingcarcas]

About $5K:(

[Wiggy McShades]

starting in 04 to now i've hit north of 25k i had orders older than that but lets not add those in. :mad: and i still cant get good fps in crysis

[Digital Nirvana]

about $11000 Canadian after 3 years, and I am only 17. thats not including local purchases, and ebay. So probably close to $15000. by the way, I don't own anything but a computer, laptop, and quite nice accessories for those :D

I don't mind, but I WOULD like to have a car. but this hobby is so addicting :D

[Tortel]

$370 more in about the last 3 days. Wooo!

[vengance_01]

Went back since 2003 it was roughly 6-7K USD. Wow is all I can say. I am disgusted with myself. My current rig will have to burn to the ground before i replace it. I need to break this horrible habit. That was also not even counting how much stuff I have bought through the F/S sections on various forums.

[sysfailur]

~$50k last I checked--then again, I do build systems for sale. And ofc a large chunk is mine :)

Sup.. coulda been rollin in a BMW. Funny I found this thread while trolling tonight, b/c this thought had crossed through my mind.

My newegg invoices are totalling over 10K now. Still trying to convince myself to get an Areca Raid controller and a 1TB HD for storage.
I thing we all should seek help maybe join a group Hardware-a-coholics Anonymous.

P.S.: 15K down payment for a car?!? What are you buying, a Bentley? :)

I literally just installed 2 X 1TB Hitachis in SATA which will be configured in Raid 1. I consolidated 3 x 250gb IDE 100 in Raid 5. Doubled my storage, speed went up tremendously, and I dropped down to 2 drives. And, I still have my 150gb raptor for a select few games + os.

I never want to see a ribbon cable in my computers ever again. I also got 2 SATA 20x LITE-ON drives.

Purchased, of course from newegg.

[phelan1777]

Add 200$ to me tally from NE, just ordered another item.

[twilyth]

$200? Hmmm. I wonder, what could it be? A digital toaster with ethernet port? No. Maybe a TEC chiller? No.

Give me a hint. Is the first letter a "P"? Sounds like "F"?

Come on, you can tell us.

[MentholMoose]

My Newegg invoice total isn't too bad, only $4000 since October 2002. :)

[Omastar]

$5118 since December, 2005.

[don_xvi]

OK, just resurrecting. I can't compete on money, but TIME.
My first newegg invoice is 2/18/2002.
I bought a Celeron 1100 for $82.00.
FYI, it's crunching on WCG today !

Who's got history older than that ?

The next month I bought a Radeon 8500DV for TWO HUNDRED NINETY TWO dollars (!) and a P4 1.6. Both of these parts are in use helping WCG as well.

[WrigleyVillain]

My first is 4/4/2004 and I didn't add it all up but it looks to be around $7K. Though some of that was for rigs for other people and other parts tested (played with?) and re-sold...

[cky2k6]

I didn't think i was a big offender, and then i did the math... 3800 on newegg since 2004, but thats just the beginning. overall since 2004 which was when i first got into computers, i have spent around 6k on computer crap.

[RAW-Raptor22]

$1200 total and im only 14.... :D

Thats a motorcycle.... :(

[[XC] leviathan18]

How is this even regulated? Who would know if you used your MasterCard to order something from amazon?

easy my friend if you dont pass the credit card in the machine is counted as a internet buy.... and each bank enforces this limiting the amount outside venezuela, but hey last year was 3000$ this year is only 400$ :( bush is crazy and perhaps stupid but chavez is just idiotic

[teyber]

$1200 total and im only 14.... :D

Thats a motorcycle.... :(

when i was 15 i had spent over 8,000$

suck on that:ROTF:

[[XC] 2long4u]

Yea but you have a money tree!! :rotf:

[RAW-Raptor22]

Newegg's business is like a form of theft....

too bad you cant buy newegg stock.... :p

[CyberDruid]

Do not want to know...just blew at least $3k in 08

[twilyth]

They're nothing but glorified crack dealers - that's a fact.

[64dragon]

since 05 my newegg total is about $2300 but adding in zzf and ppcs its around $4000

back in 05 when i built my first pc i paid $400 for a s939 x2 4200 now i'm using an am2 x2 4200 and got that for $70

[GMX]

$2






nah, seriously $0


bastards don't ship here!

But in the last year for all computers (upgrades, 3 new ones, HTPC setup etc) 5.8k and 5k for the TV :D

[apt403]

when i was 15 i had spent over 8,000$

suck on that:ROTF:

Guess I've got a year to drop 6 grand at Newegg then. :p:

[GuitarFreak]

$4429 over the last year...on 3 different computers.

[BlueAqua]

I thought I'd bump this old thread. Every time I think about how much I've spent over the years I think about my Newegg Car. I don't even want to tally up all my newegg invoices now, so many of them since the end of 2007 when it was near 6k.

Anyone else buy a newegg car?

[Movieman]

app $45K at newegg in the last 3-4 years..

[BlueAqua]

app $45K at newegg in the last 3-4 years..

Ha ha, yeah it sure adds up.

[shoota]

Thx for the bump I didn't know this thread existed, kinda fun.
I've spent a grand total of $2661 so I guess my newegg car is a used Kia Rio, which sux cuz I already have one of those lol :rofl:

[Kallenator]

Not Newegg, but the Norwegian alternative. Let's look through that old archive of mine, my father was rather strict with the accounting so I can go back to 1997 and check my expenses with computers, hmm looks like I bought my first HDD at the age of 12, it cost 100USD. ^^

Most of my hardware has been sold to friends or other people during the years, so I have pretty much gotten back half of it or more, for certain.

That leaves around 22k USD in 11 years.

From 45000USD for a new Audi A6, it costs pretty much exactly the double in my country :D

[Splave]

you know its bad when you dont want to take the time to add it all up :X

[itznfb]

lol I can't believe this thread got bumped. Talk about an oldie. Fortunately since my initial ~ $15K I have only added about $5K. So my total is only around $20K. haha "only". Insanity. I've been dumping all my money into photography equipment and I still end up spending another $5,000.

Dave, you definitely make me feel better though knowing someone has spend double what I have in half the time :D

[Kingcarcas]

Awwwww crud, a new 640GB, GTX460, X6 compatible Mobo.......and who knows what else since $5K in 07...i'm scared to look at it now.

[Particle]

2010 was much better for me than 2009. I spent $3,902.93 at Newegg last year. The year before I spent $5061. That represents about one out of every five dollars I actually get my hands on (after taxes, before bills). I'm doing better and hoping for an even less expensive 2011, although that's doubtful!

[One_Hertz]

I am down to 4-5k a year :)
