~$2200 if you count the system I built with the driving intent to be able to finish a video, about < $150 if you don't. :|

I spent twelve dollars on a hooker and fifty dollars on enough beer to forget how much I hate this hobby.

Not more than a couple hundred bucks, all on anime, and that stopped over a year ago.

So really, not that much :/

I've never bought anything with the express point of using it to edit. So my editing expenses would be $0.

It's not everything the laptop. The lappy has: 2x2.64 Ghz (Intel), 500GB with 5400rpm harddisc, 15.4" monitor, and a 9400GT Nvidia with 512MB.

Right now I would like to add an eSata or Firewire 800 PCI express card in combination with an damn awesome Western Digital Studio Edition external harddrive. :|

Let's see...first pc cost around 1400$...new rig was 805$, bought around 100$ worth of dvds....an external harddrive for 100$, bought 2 other internals for this pc..probably around 350$ or so for the 2 of them, bought more ram for this rig for another 150$ or so, and bought a gfx card for this pc which ran about another 150$. Bought way too many blank dvds/cds to count.

So easily around $4,000 USD. Probably a good bit more that I didn't count.

I'm in roughly the same boat as ZS.

All in all I'd say I spend about $8000 if not more on the hobby. Probably more like $13/14k if I include all the traveling I did thanks to/because of it.

Well, since my parents paid for my rig and shit since I'm a little nigger boy. I spent about 30-40 dollars. On the 3 DVDs I bought.
But in my mom and dad's expense, around $850. So not much.

I can't really say I spent any money on this hobby. The lappy I use was intended for school and gaming. All the anime I baught was for the sake of owning it cause I like it, haven't baught any just to edit with it.

Well I baught an external for the sake of more Pron more storage space cause of this hobby. So 100$ I guess :? ?

This.

Though it might change in future, if I ever manage to go dual-screen.
