Custom builds Memes

That look of pure disdain when someone suggests taking the easy way out of PC building. It's like telling a chef to just order takeout or asking a developer to use no-code solutions for everything. The sacred ritual of meticulously selecting each component, obsessing over benchmark scores, cable management that would make Marie Kondo weep with joy, and the religious thermal paste application ceremony cannot be replaced by some off-the-shelf solution! The audacity! Next you'll suggest using Windows without customizing the registry.

The PC building evangelists strike again! That special breed of tech enthusiast who somehow turns "I built my own computer" into a personality trait. They lurk in forums, waiting to pounce on any innocent parent asking about buying a pre-built gaming PC for their kid. Look, not everyone wants to spend their weekend watching 47 YouTube tutorials on proper thermal paste application or risk destroying a $500 graphics card because they got too enthusiastic with static electricity. Sometimes people just want a computer that works without becoming an honorary electrical engineer. Pre-builts exist for a reason. They're the "I just want to eat the damn cookie" option in a world full of people insisting you need to mill your own flour first.
