First and foremost, there is the bragging rights. It just sounds better to say, 'Oh, yah, one built one's own computer, dontchaknow/' A close second is that it's cheaper. Plus you get to choose what spec you have. You can shop around to get precisely the PC that you wanted, rather than settle for the best deal in the store.

Thanks Mira.

Nice article. I love my stand mixer. So much better then the hand mixer.

This looks like a slick gadget.

On a separate note. You have almost 300 articles here within the year. How do you find the time?

This seems like a really interesting movie! I haven't heard of it before now, but I think I want to watch it.

Geez, speaking of found films...I was reading on reddit yesterday about a psychopath who would kidnap girls and keep them in his torture chamber, and when the case was being closed, they found a tape he would play for all his new victims. I read the transcription of the whole thing, and immediately regretted it. I wasn't so much scared or terrified, as completely and utterly disturbed. But regardless of not actually being scared, I ended up having a terrible dream about it, which meant I woke up in the worst mood ever. And then I came and read this, and I'm thinking no more found films or tapes for me this week, please....

But I'll have to watch it sometime soon.

What are the benefits of building your own computer? Just out of curiosity. It seems that all of my friends/family who are good with computers prefer building their own.

Yes! That's precisely the word for it. Hence striking back with this article. There's an old Welsh saying about not messing with the bards.

Uh oh, seems I was not so wrong in the end, but glad that you got rid off it. Must feel like some sort of violation, you buy a new computer, or computer components, and then you discover that it has been violated before you even got it ...

Oh, we've mixed and matched that it's all the same thing, but for the baby. Though granted, He's a very important baby!

Kate, it is called CHRISTmas for a reason, if you want to celebrate something else, call it so, YULEtide for example ;-)

Wow! That's insane! Here's me feeling secure because I built my own, but it could have been in the hardware.

Torybri, My Pleasure! Thanks for the kind words :) FLYW :)

Awww! Well, it is the season of goodwill. Let them have their tree. :)

I concur!
