What is the most money you've wasted on a computer?

Well when I was a teenager I got the wrong RAM and was too upset to get a refund.

Still have it kicking around, just unused.

Everything else I use so it's not wasted at all.

bought 2 power bricks for my old laptop thinking the batteries werent holding a charge and fucking with the a/c and power jack

found out the power jack was fucked because the prong inside was bent

Not mad, just a little dissapointed in myself back then

$200 3TB HDD long ago during the Tsunami HDD catastrope. It died and I never bothered to RMA it.
>>
> wasted
"spent" or "wasted"? If "wasted", well... I think it was GTX460. Everybody praised it, but it was slightly better than GTS250 and lasted about 6 months due to a heavy overclock.
I bought a used HD5850 after that for the same $200.
>>
400€ for a gtx 770
Last year
Fuck this jew store

$400. Before i found /g/ and got my head out of my ass i bought a low end consumer laptop off the microsoft store.

>Lenovo G50-80
>wifi rarely works
>1366 15" panel
>the only laptop with more flex is the LG Gram

At least it has a i5 and 6gb of ram. I replaced it with a t420 running xubuntu though, now its just for light gaming.

>>55279326
My current one, dumped over $600 at this point for my overall dream PC, except now I don't really even play games, trying to sell it at the moment, no offers as of yet, just waiting to buy an AM4 based ITX APU system most likely

>>55279638

>>55279326
What the fuck? That burger isn't even cooked enough.

>>55279326
I bought this computer I'm using for around $2200. it was a waste spending that much.

what have I bought that I didn't use and was a complete waste, razer black widow chroma, shit broke hardcore.
>>
I paid $65 for a R7 360 2GiB the other day.
I didn't spend enough to regret my purchase, right?
>>
>>55280374
if you play only graphically low demanding games like league of legends or cs:go at 1080p@60 then that was a good deal
>>
>>55279326
$450

I just bought an IBM 5150

I don't waste money on computers.

I know exactly what to buy to fulfill my needs.

>>55283502
So probably titans and a couple of 970s

>>55279326
Probably 10 thousand during my computer building phase, when I first start putting together my custom computer and optimising it needlessly.
