My GFX card > your pc's.

Yes I am a computer nerd and I vote for building your own if your wanting more then basic tasks out of it.

And you have to deal with all of those individual warranties, plus occasionally having to convince one manufacturer that the problem is their part rather than being caused by the part of another manufacturer. Hardly the ideal situation for the average user.

I'm not the average user, so it's not a problem for me. I can usually locate the individual part and have actually done some SMT soldering to replace that individual part to bring a board back to life.

About 3/4 of the cost of a K75RT came from piecework conversions of socketed components to SMT, by hand, for a company that I'd just left back in 1991. I'd be happy if I never had to solder another component again, as long as I live

I like it, but I pretty much just do mechanical/material science stuff now that I am the breaker engineer and don't do much electrical stuff anymore. The electrical stuff on my breakers hardly ever fail.
