How much does it cost to go for the CCIE?

Below is a summary of the costs I have incurred while pursuing the CCIE certification. I have included EVERYTHING, so that people considering the same journey will have a more realistic view of how much it costs.

Books: We’ll call it $300. It’s probably less, but I acquired many books over the period of time.

Rack: $1,200 (so far). When it’s done, probably $2,500 total.

INE Vol I: $250?? (I forget, I bought it a couple of years ago)

That’s it so far! Pretty minimal.  My primary study tools are: Lab gear, Cisco documentation, Google, and my books.
