Budget - Down to the Last Drop

So I finally got some Event 20/20 BAS monitors (they list on Musican's friend for $899) on E-bay (used) for $460 including shipping. That is the last major purchase for the studio. After that, I have 171.52 left before I return my RAM, which will add about $75 back to that total. The remaining purchases are :
  • Patch Cables - You need a lot of these ($20)
  • A good set of cables to go from the mixer out to the monitors (TRS->XLR or TRS->TRS Balanced) ($30)
  • Calk and Triple Expanding Foam for finishing up the room. ($50)
  • Possibly a 400-600 Watt PSU for the computer ($40)
  • An extension chord and Surge Protector for the room.($30)
The cash left ($0-$75) will be donated to the Ardour project which is an amazing piece of free (as in beer and speech) software.
