How much to replace your board?

I’m curious how much it would cost you if your board needed to be replaced today. If you add up full retail price of everything on your board, the power supply, and the board itself, what do you have invested? If you have more than one board, what is the cost of each one? I realize some of us have used pedals that we didn’t pay full retail for, but I’m curious what it would cost if you had to go out today and replace everything at full price.

(Actually, I have a whole 'nother board the same size, need to split it into "dirt / drives" and "modulation". Ran out of room. Need to get the MuTron Bi-Phase II in there somewhere, and the looper too...)
