I was clearing out some old papers over the weekend I came across some invoices for one of my old PC’s. I used to build them, but now its cheaper to buy them fully built (or is it?).
Compared with today’s prices we really had an expensive hobby!!
For example…
-
64 MB RAM cost £57.00!
-
Toshiba CDROM (40x) cost £36.00!
-
Seagate ST310230A 10.2GB disc drive cost £129.00!
What a difference nearly 10 years make, today you can get…
-
2 GB RAM for my Dell – £29.20 (inc VAT) from Crucial Memory
-
Samsung CD-ROM (52 x) – £11.50 (inc VAT) from DAB.Com
-
Seagate ST3160215A 160GB disc drive – £31.,72 (inc VAT) from DAB.Com
Things have never been cheaper for budding PC builders, maybe I’ll have another go again for my next one?
