Thank goodness my spares box contains more than enough parts, apart from a motherboard, to build a new rig if need be.

I cringe every time I see a new email special show up in my inbox... the RAM prices, even on sale, are most definitely rising. 🙁 Thankfully, I'm like Ice ^^^ in that I don't have a need for more than 8 GB right now (on my main PC.. workstation is another story...).
