Building from components is the one and only solution to have
something completely under your control and satisfying your desire.
Balancing and building your own machine from scratches is a great
satisfaction, for someone a drug too.
Having supporting friends (My dad is a kind of freaky mad phisicist)
is great in your first steps and helpful if you are beginning doing
something out of schemes.
My hate for closed systems (like macs) is due to these things too. I
lack possibility to build my highly specific and very unbalanced
machines (kind of setup built to support specific applications)
Cheeers!!
