Don't forget there's also pride in a self-assembled/built system :P
Like "I picked this stuff myself and it works!"
The first one is often the beginning of a hobby... an expensive hobby <.<

an expensive hobby <.<

Yeah no kidding, my current PC has cost me about $3000, and its not even the best parts. {well it was close as of last summer} I have many friends that are into consoles and for the life of me they just don't understand how I can spend this much to play games, instead of $300 or less on a console.

For one the experience is much better, games are smoother and more responsive, you can mod them, graphics while not everything are 1000% better, and it does everything imaginable, unlike Sony and their ridiculous PS3 slogan "it does everything" ROFL

Anyway...
