Spent so far

This is an overview of the money I spent for building my cabinet. When building one yourself, add around 10% for beer, cigarettes etc., because it sure takes a while before you'll have it ready as planned.

Another thing: double the figure you have in mind for spending on the cabinet, and you might get close to what you really are going to spend...
