Re: Unfixable, Unhackable, Untenable. An iFixit Op-ed.

[Chris Harlan] "Gamers, particularly, customize and hot-rod out their machines. As more expensive desktops and workstations become a niche again, I think you'll see cost-related tinkering again, as people work to squeeze more life out of their sizzle cores."

The biggest customization area now are hackintoshes. College kids are building $650 OSX machines - this is seen as both a challenge and a way to save money. The Videoguys DIY build lists lay out the parts to build super fast i7 PC editing machines for anywhere from 1500 to 2500. This is not something I'm interested in doing, but the PC side of things has always had a hot rod mentality as part of the culture.
