I've always dreamt of building my own PC since high school, but I was held back by worries, money, and time.

In 2009, I decided that I want one.
I've began reading and researching so much about upcoming PC techs within the year at that time, but I was still worried that I don't have the knowledge to do it.
By June, the studying didn't stop, and I've gained some confidence by reading about others' experiences.
By August, I can't wait, even though the new bits and pieces coming in October & November are really really tempting.
Finally, thanks to my impatience, it became a dream come true. I didn't think about the damage it'll bring to my bank account :P
I just bought all the shit within two days from Mong Kok.

I still remember baby asking me what's the rush, 'n why can't I just wait. I couldn't answer that question logically. But I didn't need a reason for this :)
I can't really express how it feels, nor can I actually speak in words about what have I achieved or learned.
It just feels great. What else can I say?







To be honest, I didn't need the lightning speed of the newborn family of Core i7 processors.
I didn't need a stunningly smooth-like-ice graphics card I've never imagined getting hold of.
...to be brutally honest, I didn't need a new computer :P

But hell, the process of building this machine...
the experience of buying each little part, and gluing them bit by bit to form a functional workstation...
the feeling of knowing exactly what did I do, what each part does...
the glory of booting it up for the first time...
and the fact that I'll be using it from now on for work...
..made me THIS happy! :D :D :D :D
