Yeah I like it. I needed an excuses like 5 months ago or so. I had not built any computer in years. My mom's computer was getting on the slow side ... I bought her a new one just to build it. :P

 

Its nothing fancy because she doesn't play games outside of those on facebook but I needed my fix :D

Ask me now? Sure

Ask me when I'm sitting there wondering if there's a bent pin I need to fix or if I'm just not pushing hard enough?

Yes, its complex enough to be interesting and simple enough not to be too frustrating. (Once you get the hang of it).

unplugging it from stuff moving it off the shelf opening it up and trying to keep my parrents and pets off my ass before hand? 

no.

but once i have a new component to put in im in my own little world of ''now its better, ive actually made something better...'' and im basically high of tech for around half an hour xD

 

havent had to replace any coolers yet but i imagine i wont enjoy removing the thermal compound, but i'll still enjoy the proccess over all

 

so yes, 70% of it yes.

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.

and that job needs to let me blast japanese death metal and punk music at a volume that drowns out all other noise, (in my own headphones of course) and i need to be allowed to wear my converse shoes xD

Building the hardware. YES!

The software... not so much, it's not that I hate it, it's just boring...

I enjoy it only if its mine or if i'm getting paid for it.

So if your friend would give you the most amazing system to build ( i7 5960X , 64GB DDR4 , 1TB PCi SSD , ultimate custom watercooling. ) But he wouldn't pay you to assemble it you would not enjoy it.

It depends - work on my own is a matter of time I have and parts I'm using. Work on others depends on how well they pay and what they're using ;)
