Do you think you've dropped enough green backs on the computer repair people to make sliding by with a new computer worth it?  ;)

My mother just bought a new system.  The one I'm salivating over is $12,000, and I was able to talk her up from $1500 to $2000.  She is now the proud owner of the best computer, hands down, of anyone in the family!  Crazy...  My poor thing is over two years old now, though I did slam nearly $800 into a new video card to keep it running.  I put this thing together from the ground up, and now it's just time for a new one.  My MOM can't have a better computer than me!

EDIT
Holy CRAP!  I just took a look and my current computer is actually THREE AND A HALF years old!  That's just crazy.  I'm more surprised than ever now that it's doing as well as it is.
