By _mixing_ more emotion!

I can strike a single emotional key no problem, but that's like a drag race. Interesting in the beginning, what with the squeal of rubber and roar of gigantic V8s, but unless you're a big fan of say, of Big Daddy or The Snake, gets boring.

For me, the main reason is cost. On my last computer, to buy a pre-built desktop would have been about $2300. By building it myself and buying parts wholesale, I was able to do it for $1250. It took me a couple hours to spec out the parts and about an hour to build it. Then overnight burn-in test and I was good to go.<br><br>I think the real savings is for people who buy higher-end computers (like me). Those groups are basically people who do a lot of video production, a lot of CAD production, and gamers. All three are micro niches--probably not big enough for a site like yours (though a good video production blog with real reviews would be worth its weight in gold to me, and I haven't found one.)<br><br>-Erica Yeah.

These days, most people just use it till it breaks, then upgrade. <br><br>Course, there is a lot of people still building, but I think they're running out of legit reasons to do it (outside of just feeling like it). Problem is, that market isn't a good one for bloggers unless you want to focus on reviews. At least that's my opinion. Those people are in the buying mode. :-) But, then once its built, you focus on what you can do with it. Kinda true. These days, most people just use it till it breaks, then upgrade.
