What percentage do you spend on each component?

I think I remember a similar thread here but I couldn't find it. Just curious to see how others have allocated funds toward their system. What percentage of your total system cost have you spent on each component (based on new prices).

Me:

Front End (CDP) 27%
Preamp 0% (None)
Amplification 40%
Speakers 24%
Cables 9%

Here's what I ended up with:

Speakers: 20.8%
Amps: 30.7%
Preamp: 16.4%
Transport/DAC: 3.9%
Cables: 20.6%
- I/Cs
- pwr cords
Misc: 7.5%
-pwr condr
-triphazers
-bybee spur

This was an interesting exercise in that I have not looked at my system breakdown in such a manner. Some observations: I maybe a little light on the transport/DAC components (Is that's why I want a new transport?..any suggestions in the up to $3.5K range??) Also, I maybe a little heavy on the cables expenditures.
