I too am addicted to building PC's.

I love it. My mom wanted me to build her a desktop and the rush of buying the parts and putting everything together is just a fun every time.
I get a great sense of accomplishment on that first successful POST.

Yesterday I built my mom

Silverstone PS08B
AMD Athlon 5150
ASRock AM1B ITX
Corsair LS 120GB SSD
WD 250GB HDD (I had this)
Plextor DVD burner (I had this)
Corsair CX 500 (obvious overkill but the store had limited selection and this leaves future upgrade options)

It was a lot of fun.

Lol seems you're also addicted to i7 cpus as well lol.

I am as well but doing more building for guys at my work seeing as i'm broke lol.

with this recent job i got, i look forward to not only building but also rebuilding and upgrading the current computers in my house.

0u0 just bought myself a mouse today on newegg. g402 coming in 4 days

I like building too however, I can hold that excitement back a bit. Lol. I take time every year to upgrade and its typically November thru February when I've got nothing better to do than mess with all our PC's.

DSM is the "sort of made up, sort of based in fact, mostly nonsense" "bible" of the psychiatric community.

In essence, if enough people start rubbing flowers on their foreheads and shouting "Bubalaya!" that becomes a new mental disorder...

I've been classified as many things under the DSM... it's all nonsense. What we need is brain scanners that can detect true depression and aspergers and stuff like that. Until then it's all hogwash and snake oil in the psychiatry industry. It's just guesswork. You can't take an xray and see mental disorders like you can lung cancer.

Well, I agree that it's a far from perfect science but it is also true that it is often useful. From my perspective it's biggest shortcoming is that it ignores the spiritual/moral dimension of mental health. Unfortunately, we live in a world that has cast off the idea that there are moral absolutes and says that what is right and wrong is only cultural and existential. What is right and wrong has now been reduced to two questions: 1. Does it interfere with my personal freedom? and 2. Is it consensual? Otherwise, anything goes.
