I can't speak for shamino, but I would believe he's spent a dime or two as well.

My bad, i should have said some and not most. My point beeing that the stuff one of them get for free would fullfill all my needs and a few friends too.

Then you have your average enthusiasts that are happy with Q9450's or E8400's or even X4 9650's etc & overclocking to get higher performance.

Then you have the budget enthusiasts who buy E6xxx, E4xxx, E2xxx, X2's or X3's & overclock them to the hilt.

All are Xtreme in their own ways (for some Xtremely boring, others Xtremely ignorant etc) and it is that variety that makes XS work for even average Joe Bloggs to learn something new, get good advice or just have a laugh at all the fanboys going at each other.

I fall into the average/budget enthusiast as I spend a set amount every year (£2,000-£3,000) to update 4 PC's & a server. Being Xtreme doesn't mean XtremelyBankrupt, altho that might be an idea for a sister site for those that take it too far.
