I know I'm a techie when I use a school computer and loudly complain about the palm rest, crappy keyboard, lack of a second display, and bad viewing angles.

 

I also know I'm a techie when I study the specs of any computer that I touch and nobody understands my tech talk in school.

[Pugs501]

When you want to stick Ubuntu on a old PS3.

When you want to throw your older brothers retired Dell in your old case (Rosewill Redbone) even though you truly have no use for a second rig even if it wouldn't do much besides maybe folding and sit around.

When you have a optical drive hidden behind one of your monitors with a SATA cable stuck into it.

When you have your dresser filled with a ton of boxes from parts just because they look nice.
