(poll) How much money have you spent?
Okay. Here's a poll. I'm curious to know how much everyone has spent so far on their carputer (hardware, software, materials, etc.). I'll start. I'm not even done and have paid over $500.

Okay. I've added everyone so far to the poll.
ProTONEd - I converted your amount to dollars and this is what I got. 800 Euro = 992.88 US Dollar. If this is not correct or I used the wrong currency, please let me know and I will fix it. I put you into the 1001USD bracket since you probably spent 9USD extra at some point in time.

I'm not sure, I'm not that good with currencies 
Sure, wiring, connectors, fuses,... I think it was a little over that 9 USD
