Im close to 19.5K just in Parts.... and still have stuff to go :I decided today to think back of all the parts I have purchased so far for my buildup and add up the costs, just to see how much I've spent! When I saw the total I vomitted all over the place (jk, but I did feel sick). If anyone of you out there have ever thought about doing this (adding up costs) ... don't. It's better left unknown.
