4. How much money did you spend on the rig as it is right now?
To be honest, I don't know. I did not buy all parts on the same time, some parts are from my old rig, and some of the parts were shipped in from USA. I don't know if I should add in taxes and shipping to those prices. A shot from the hip is around $5000 in local prices for the finished rig.
5. How often do you update/buy a new rig?
Too often :) Normally, a rig lasts around 6 months before I have something new I want to do. Sometimes, my upgrade itch can be fixed by building rigs for my friends, but at some point I'll run out of friends in need of new rigs. Hopefully at that time, they will want to upgrade as well..
