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

Since the whole rig ended up being build over a period of time I would say around $3500 from swapping parts at the time they were priced.

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

I usually update around every other pay check or whenever I see something cool and it's got that "I just gotta have that!" appeal.
