4. How much money did you spend on the rig as it is right now?
Over 3000 Euro (with the screen, mouse, keyboard, extra drives etc.)
5. How often do you update/buy a new rig?
Every 2-3 years.
6. What components are used?
Overclocking was done without voltage increase (except RAM). I'm interested in increasing efficiency not in decreasing the lifespan of my components!
