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

I combed forums and watched experts choose components to figure out what kind of parts I wanted. Around Thanksgiving I had finally compiled a list of parts I wanted to buy. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to just buy everything at once, so I had to purchase each item as I could afford it. It took 6 months, but I finally had all my parts together in the spring of 2016. In all, I spent just over $2500. I could have spent less than $2000 if I had given up on the white theme, but I knew I would only get one shot to get this thing right, so I made sure I got exactly what I wanted and didn't settle for cheaper parts that didn't fit my theme. I really wanted it to look and perform to an exact specification because I wasn't planning on doing another build for at least another two years.
