Hey, I drive a 13 year old SUV, and am using a < 8 month old computer right now. I've probably built 8, 9, 10+ different desktops in the same amount of time.
I'm doing something wrong here! ;-)
I used to roll my own all the time then I found it was more effective just to buy a base machine with right MB CPU combo and upgraded ..best deal was to find a return...usually more cost effective by a wide margin
but now switch to laptops as daily drive...
