 ...... wow That much?!
I sell CPU's and with the profit of that i buy CPU's for my collection. Sometimes i can spend a little more when i get a bonus or something like that. But not near as much as you guys.
But i think it does not matter how much you spend, it is the fun you have!
And i have fun collecting CPU's just like the rest of you, only at a smaller budget.

can't wait till I become a surgeon, by then I'll be spending a minimum $10,000 a month on cpu's, and get revenge to those who always out bid me during my childhood collecting.  |

Become a lawyer. You will have the same $10,000 to spend every month on chips, and you can sue everybody who outbids you on eBay

haha! you read my mind, as of 1 year ago
We did this thing in school, called "Career Day", where about 50 people come in ( laywers, doctors, dentists, Seargants  ) and talk to kids in groups of like 15 at a time for half an hour each, and we did 3 sessions in total. I choose to go to the Doctor first, then to the lawyer, and lastly military.
I was so hyped up about becoming a lawyer, but when I saw the lawyer I flipped out. I asked the guy how much he makes, he said $40,000 a year, and he went to college for only 3 years. I thought, OH, if you go like 3 more years, you'll make 3 times the money. THEN he started whining about how much hard work it is, and how he could have gone for a longer time to make more money but has friends ( Who are also lawyers, mind you ) that make over $120,000 but work 24/7 and basically live at the firm they work in.
I did research and found out surgeons make in the millions 
I had some thought about it; instead of looking for a good paying job in 5 years + ( sometimes it's not even a good paying job), I say spend 5 years + in medical school, then you can fill out your own ticket to the future
Guess I'll just stick with being a corporate Lawyer or or a god. Err..... I meant surgeon  |

id love to save lives too, but i dont think id be able to go rootign around in peoples guts
surgeon isnt too bad tho. insides look mostly the sme unless youre dealing with cancer or some heavy disease
just imagine bieing a general practitioner tho .. where people come to you with all manner of scaly fungal rashes on every horrible dark place on their body *shudder*
anyhow this is going OT..
just win the lottery and buy cpus! |

While we are talking about money, I wonder how much I could get if I wanted to sell my whole collection (http://www.alphatek.info/collection/ around 400 x86 chips).
PS: for 15000$ it's yours |
