I thought about all the money i "wasted" by reading this forum and was like, "ah crap", as i'm just a poor college student.

Heres my list:
xp-90 -30.24 shipped
IBM-P260 - 139.99 shipped
NGE Box Set - 39.99 shipped
BFG 6800gt oc - 410 shipped (8 months ago)
SB Audigy 2 - 60 shipped

Every once in a while there's one of these threads... it's just kinda fun.

I got a Audigy 2 ZS Platinum for $115
Hercules 9800pro for $189
Probably more...but I can't think of them now.
 
I would think its money saved if you've had your eye on something or needed a part that you happen to see here on sale...

Money wasted if you were just surfing and went 'wow thats a good deal...i guess i could use that for this.....'
 
Money Saved:
Video Card: X850 XT VoltModded that does 700 on the core with water cooling: $435 shipped
Motherboard: DFI NF4 Ultra-D: $100 shipped
RAM: 2x512MB GSkill LE that do 313 2.5-4-3-7 $255 shipped

Money Wasted:
P260 21" CRT $133 shipped

my zs platinum could go either way, I didn't really need it. The 9800pro was definitely money saved... i love that card.

yep thats me :p, rarely need it, but always want it.

I especially love the mega-hot deals that pop up every so often, so hard resisting the urge to buy...
 
A64 3400+ Lappy R3000z w/dvdrw for $630 shipped overnight

A64 3400+ Dfi Lanparty 1gb pc4000 ram, dvdrw, 80gb sata, 6800 Ultra, case etc & Win xp pro system $1000 shipped

Mmm...Ya this forums has saved me $1000s by now I'd say in conjunction with anandtech.
 
Might count, might not. Snagged a XP 3000+ for $60 shipped last week in the for sale/trade section.. I gotta stay outta the For Sale/Trade section, I'm going broke.

HOW DID YOU GET THAT FOR 100$ :mad:
i bought mine for $139.99 :(
tell me where and when you got this...

in fact, tell me where you got ALL of this period...
 
i got a whole bunch of sports shit from that last eastbay deal, and a garciaparra jersey from the BO sox.
talk about stuff i didnt need
 
Wasted:
Dell 2405FPW $925

Saved:
XP-90 - ~$25
Chieftec Dragon - ~$20 (? sumpin like that)

Wasted takes the cake. :p
 
The only thing I have seen from this forum that I bought was the ebuyer cases that were going for like $25 shipped...lol..

Usually I try not to look at this forum and go straight for the "free stuff" :D
 
From here directly? Not that much. I think i've earned a round-trip ticket to Europe from all the junk^H^H^H^H stuff i found at FW.
