What's your profession? Age?


Just thought after the "how much is your system worth" post that it would be nice to see what all these people do to get $80K systems, and perhaps how long it takes. I'm a 29-year old economist for the gov., just completeed my Ph.D. last month, and my system is at about $10K. Just a pup hoping to keep upgrading...

System worth 25K Retail, but most equipment brought used at about 50% of retail.

Joe's Teres

I have somewhere north of 25k retail in my system. And will probably spend that much again before it's all over. Of course, in real dollars I probably have half that or less. Finding deals is almost as much fun as building it yourself, which is almost as much fun as listening to the music!

Joe, it's been awhile since I've seen your pictures -- once again, they're great. I'm sure you're still enjoying the customized Teres! Happy listening.
