Geek question - for a PC only:
is it worth it to learn how to build my own computer and snap together the parts, or should I just buy a computer?

Anyone suggesting a mac will be rebuffed with "As a noncomformist, I refuse to invest in a monopolistic enterprise based solely on cute colors and rounded corners."

Good question - mostly the same stuff I do on my 4 year old computer. The only thing I was thinking of changing was revising my entire entertainment center, so the computer is the base of the television and music. I haven't quite figured out how to do this, especially as while I can HD my CDs, I also have a load of LPs that I'd like to be able to play of the HD at some point (now there is a software and wiring venture).

Mostly I just want one for no good reason. While I run backups, I worry that someday my HD will crash and inconvenience me, as it's been about 4 years.
