If we imagine the average to be around 1200 USD (which is probably close to the mean for most people because of all the added expenses of the monitor, keyboard, headphones etc..) then considering the forum has 110000 members that's 130 million dollars

 

Linustechtips still isn't a billion dollar industry it seems.  :D

Forgot to include my monitors in my total.

 

NEW TOTAL = $115,298.16

ya blew it man! you gotta recalculate by adding the price of monitors onto looney's total!

New total: 130,011.06 $

 

PS: US notation is really weird if you're used to german notation.

Previous computers were gifts or hand me downs so the current one is the only one paid for

 

Specs in Signature, only thing replaced/added were:

 

The SSD

GTX570 to a GTX780.

Sidewinder X5 to Steelseries Ikari

Sidewinder X4 to Ducky Shine 3

Microsoft XBox Wired to MS Xbox Wireless

 

Original cost was an equivalent of $1500 USD, the SSD $100 USD, the GTX 780 for $600 USD, SS Ikari for $50 USD, Ducky for $100 USD, and the controller for $40 USD.

 

So, a total of $ 2390 USD so far.
