    Comp was free, except for the graphic card and the printer, which were both ebay steals.
    Maxim was $2000.00, and I still think it was worth it. I've ridden over 20,000 miles, and she's still purring like a kitten in a warm lap. Greatest expense so far has been for tires.

    At one point I had 6 PC's and 3 laptops with a price range of 50$ to 750 (some of the pc's were old). Now i have one bike that i paid 500$ for and only3 pc's and 1 laptop. If i start collecting bikes like i was collecting pc's my wife will kill me. :D Unless I get her to start riding too!!!

    Used to be the computer. Its an HP Pavilion dv9000. Was $1,100. I payed $900 for the bike. Spent about another $1000 between july and november. And in december I spent over $2000 just on parts and tools. Definitely the bike. And when I am done with it... when it rolls out of the garage for the first time with its new makeover.... It'll definitely be able to be appraised at... $600. Hahaha... Poor bike. Oh well.

    PC was about $1000 if you count the monitor.
    First Maxim was $750, worth every cent and then some
    Second was $435 after the truck ride to get it, not functional, but worth its weight in gold when I get it fixed :p
