8GB ipod touch: $300
shuffle refurb: $40

various cases, cables, protectors: about $200
software: about $100

so that's about $2100

i do however have an itunes obsession and buy generally at least one or two albums a week, i have no idea how much this has added up to.
 
Embarrassingly, every major Apple product line. I don't have all the costs, but you can guess. Apple loves me....

Apple II+ w/two disk drives and various additional I/O cards (~$2500)
Mac II w/13" color monitor, Imagewriter II (~$5000 - before I totally started rationalizing what I REALLY needed)
Powerbook 140
Non-Apple PowerCenter 100 <-under license from Apple ($1300, but not to Apple)
Newton, ahem ($900)
Laserwriter Plus (used, $500)
Stylewriter 2400 ($300)
iMac DV ($1200)
iMac G5 17" ($1200)
iPod Video 30GB ($350)
iPod Nano 4GB ($200)
iPhone ($400)

If you include my parents, brother and sister, you will be able to add: Mac 512, Mac SE, a MacTV, another Power Systems clone, Mac G4 desktop, iBook G4, MacBook, at least three iPods (including the original 5GB iPod), plus a bunch of accessories). Apple will want to clone us.

I don't know if I really want to figure out how much I have spent on Apple products.

Just off the top of my head, some pricey items such as the TAM (don't ask), original 22 inch ACD (about 4 grand), and a decked out PB170 (about 6 grand) come to mind.

And I've owned about 12 other Macs, a bunch of iPods and a LaserWriter 360.

And I really don't want to consider Apple related items such as my MO Drive (about 2 grand) that stored a wopping 128MB per disk. Each disk cost $65 and I had about 30 of those (about 2 grand in blank disks).

This thread is depressing. :(
 
Probably over $20k!

G3 350MHz. (B&W) ($2,000)
G4 dual 1GHz. ($3,000)
G5 dual 2.5GHz. with 6800 Ultra ($3,600)
30" Cinema Display ($3,300)
MacPro 8-core 3.2GHz. ($5,000)

+ iPods and over $2k on Final Cut Pro upgrades through the years....
 
iBook G4 $1200
PowerBook G4 $2300
iPod click wheel 40gb $350
iPod mini 2nd gen $200
iPod Nano 1st gen $200
iPhone 8gb $600
Mice & keyboards around $200

Grand Total : $5050 + tax

Next week's purchase: around $2000 worth of Apple's godsend product
 
a good related poll would be how much money have we made using mac products?

for me, it outweighs how much i've spent so i'm a happy camper :)
