I think I am going with the Aurora as well. I hope its a great case!
 
Around $500. I only need the CPU and motherboard. I already have everything else I need.
 
I ended up dropping right at 2K.
I got a 6700, the Asus 965 board, 2GB of ram, a 500GB HD, a 7900GT, a standard OEM DVD-RW, a new case (Thermaltake Tsuanmi w/ 650w PS), and an Xfi sound card.
I've already got good monitor/speaker/keyboard/mouse so there was no need for anything there.
Not too bad actually. I figure the 7900GT is good enough til DX10, so I didn't spend much in that dept.
 
Here's my financial graph

Sold last computer +$750
Sold WoW account +$450
Last paycheck +$650 (-35% to savings account, = +$422.50)
Sold paintball gun +$700

Net = +$2322.50 to spend on it.

Hoorah for being young and still living in parent's house and not having to pay mortgage and bills :p

WTF, $450 for a WoW account? Are people that addicted to that game that they will pay $450 just for an account with a leveled up character or whatever it is that makes it worth something? That is sad lol.
 
I just need a new motherboard and CPU. I am looking forward the Asus P5B vanilla and the E6600. I hope to hit 3.0GHz on a 333FSB with my memory at 1:1. From what I have seen so far, my expectations are somewhat conservatives but will be faster than what is currently available. That would be satisfying. ;) I am not as [H] as I once were but a stable computer matters more to me than a highly overclocked computer but I still want to be wild :D

I have bought some SuperTalant DDR1000 2gb and now have Motherboard and CPU E6600 and 300gb hardrive to buy , also HSF

I have put £600 for it . I have already a 7950 , Xfi Elite Pro , 900 Watt Tagan from my last system in a thermaltake Kandalf case. Its going to be a bad ass mo fo of a system. At least i think it will be :)

How much time did you have to invest into playing WoW to do that? Did you cut yourself off from society and luxuries like sleep and food and just play WoW around the clock lol?

we all invest time in doing something . It is good fun and it isnt that expensive but at least today he can get a PC out of it. We all play games and he will make money in doing so. Nice one :)

hardcore raiding in wow really isn't as hardcore as it sounds. I work 9-5 every day and raid
7-11 or so. aq40 3 nights a week, 3-4 hours a day, bwl 2 nights a week, 3-4 hours each. friday and saturday nights off. I'm not doing anything else on weeknights...

anyway, I had about 950 budgeted for cpu, mobo, ram, gpu, but ended up going with am2 and saved about 250$. college budget ftl.
