I left building my own machines when the scene basically changed.
Most geeks today are interested in raw performance that you can build with money: either buy the most expensive parts money can buy or spend ridiculous money on performance parts for marginal better OC.
Back in the days, it's all about creativity, how to achieve highest % of OC with minimum budget, custom cooling solutions, insane case mods... these are lost in the current trend.
That being said, can't stop drooling over these builds... they are like looking V12 being into Civic bodies...
