Nah I had no idea, thanks for educating me ಠ_ಠ
Yes, I am aware that PC parts are expensive. I am also aware that anyone with functional hands and eyes is physically capable of assembling those PC parts into a working computer. I know these things because I've built PCs before. It really is just as simple as we keep saying it is lol
I see the Lego comparison and I admit, when I built computers when I was younger I did that exact comparison.
Nowadays I would say it's more akin to building Ikea furniture than Lego. It can be daunting, especially the more expensive you go, and depending on one's situation it might even be better to have someone else do it, but if you do build it, it's very rewarding. IIRC the CEO of AMD made that Ikea comparison and it's a lot more apt IMO.
I've never really agreed with the Lego comparison, it's...not like Lego at all.
Here's another perspective though, I trust myself a hell of a lot more than I trust shipping companies. If my main concern is protecting my investment, those parts have a much better chance of reaching me intact if they are each in their individual packaging.
