I mod because my girlfriend won't let me blow things up. (ie. the neighbor's cat.)

Hmmmm thats an interesting question

Mainly Im addictted to modding because I love to create something I can take pride in .
Also since I deal with upper management on a daily basis as Vice President of a large tranportation Local, it helps me to calm my self after a day of constantly supressing the urge to choke the living *** out of someone

Ive always enjoyed playing with electro/mechanical machinery , ever since I was a repair tech for Pitney Bowes yrs ago , so this helps to keep me intouch with my inner need to fix and create

And the #1 reason is ITS FUN

The equivalent of what hot rodders do to cars, only applied to a PC. So it's kind of like customizing...sometimes just for looks, sometimes for performance, often times for both. The "ooooh-la-la" factor plays a big role.

Hmmm for some reason that almost seems like a person who does not know what Star Trek is going into a Treky convention and asking whats a Klingon.

Er yeah well somethin like that or other.

I would mod (if I could afford the tools right now) because I am a graphics designer, and I'd like my PC to look as good as my work.

I also love enginering, I am psyched about my stainless steel cube project that will be watercooled, including the video card, processor, hardrives and I will be getting an ultra quiet Vantec Stealth 400+ watt power supply.

The whole objective of the project is for a modern, very quiet and extremely fast machine. I'm even putting sound insulation inside the case. But what can I do for the radiator fans? That's gonna be tricky to keep them quiet.

When I was 8 years old I got a slot racetrack set for Christmas, by new years eve I had disassembled all of the cars completely. The following week I reassembled the cars and began painting and trimming the body panels on the cars. I have been modding everything I could find since then...........

I started after the end of my last relationship. Now I am of the opinion that modding and gaming are MUCH better than girls!
