Clocker?:lol:

I guess I've spent between $4-$5grand on puters over the years. Never bought complete new, but upgraded many parts and built others from various leftovers.
I brought my PC with me to the flat, and left three networked on broadband with my wife and kids. They weren't great (Duron950, Duron1300 & XP2200+) but perfectly fine for photoshopping and surfing, which is all they ever do on them.

God knows, my computer history has gone

C64 -> Packard Bell "Family PC" -> Barebones unit -> my current PC + GF's computer

didn't touch the C64, the Packard got upgraded to the max (as much as the mobo could take) the barebones unit got customized something fierce and has since become a completely new model (my current PC) and the GF's computer took some doing.

doesn't seem like much but it's all added up, dread to think how much exactly, throw in a few CRT's too :fear:

I won't need to splash out on any new hard drives or a monitor and I'm too cheap to get a new case. I suppose I'm upgrading really...

We had the monitor and things left over from the computor me parents bought from pc world. I was gonna upgrade that one for me dad and make one for myself, but when i took the side off all i could do is laugh at the empty space :dry:
