4. How much money did you spend on the rig as it is right now?

Honestly I lost count along time ago. However, I estimate the cost to build another one at 2400.00 for just the PC.
 

5. How often do you update/buy a new rig?

Computer modding is a continual process for me. I try to rule out unnecessary upgrades, but it is nice to upgrade every few years.
