Yep. With my dad teaching computers, we always had one in the house. I started on DOS, and I've used most versions of Microsoft operating systems since then.

I've built computers, upgraded, modified, tweaked and nerded out over low level settings and optimizations....

At this point, I can do all of that. I choose to simply buy something off a shelf because I can't be bothered to do everything that's needed to get my system working perfectly. Someone else has done the engineering to make their PC's operate efficiently, so I'll just let them do the hard work, and pay slightly more for my system so I don't have to think about it.

Once the warranty is up, and something goes wrong, I'll be in there with a multimeter and soldering iron to fix it if I have to....
