PC Building!

I love building PCs. I don't know why. I am a pure bred PC geek. Go figure?

The pinnacle of my friendship/relationship with people is usually marked by a custom PC build (or if its a laptop, me finding an exact one for them). This is very rigorous. Custom tailored to their exact needs / specifications. Cheapest price I could find (and believe me, I am VERY in depth - shrewd shopper here muahaha). On top of that, backed by my top notch build quality.

Why I love building PCs for the closest of people?

I write about computers. I dispense knowledge in various web forums to those willing to listen and learn. I spend my free time reading or tweaking (and drooling over) computer parts. To invest a lot of time researching and hunting for parts is a very intensive process. I like to see them really happy with the end product. "It's exactly as I wanted it" is always my favorite phrase.

I only build for people very close to me. Obviously, I would not simply build any old person a computer. I only extend it to people close. As easy as it may think, a lot goes into spec'ing and building a computer. I have just done a lot of it.

Within a week or so, I will be building my buddy (Abe) a PC. Parts are ordered. It's custom suited to exactly what he wants. Exciting times. :D

However, one thing I never appreciate is someone 'volunteering' me on my behalf. Umm. No. Big no no for me. Very few have done that to me. If I say I'll help, I will. If you say I will, um no. lol.
(I am very non-conforming). But yes, do respect my golden rule if you are ever lucky enough to receive a "Scott Custom". Asking me is fine. Representing me, umm does not fly...

I really should post a top 10 things that piss me off instantly (yes there are stuff that do that to even 'lil' ol' me!). Maybe next post (too sleepy now).
