Post TV – Adding Up the Costs

For anyone who is still playing along at home here is the run down of what it cost us to put together our current setup:

  • Mac Mini – $600
  • Apple Wireless Keyboard – $80
  • Apple Wireless Mouse – $70
  • Pinnacle HD TV Stick for Mac – $130
  • Elgato eyetv3 (upgrade) – $50
  • APC Back-UPS ES 350 – $30
  • Total – $960
  • DishTV – $130
  • Netflix – ($15)
  • Savings – $115
  • Buyback – 8.3 Months

It certainly is a large sum upfront and we are lucky that we could bankroll it with some of the money I made on side work last year and before Management was laid off.  The upside is that the cost will be quickly recouped in under a year since we are no longer paying for cable/satellite.
