I know a guy who spent near on £4000 on hardware, fx-53, 2gb of OCZ etc when it was all new on the market, he spent 4 weeks putting it together, sinking this and voltmodding that, got some mega high score on 3dmark, only to be outdone by 20 people within the week. the real kick in the pants was that after all his mods it wouldnt run any games and ended up selling all the parts on ebay less than 2 months after putting it together for a total loss of £3000. last thing i heard was he got chucked out of his parents basement after spending another £5k of his university grant on parts.
