Portable applications are, indeed, a lifesaver for people who perform much of their work outside a typical office setting. These applications can certainly make your job, and your personal life just a little easier.

1.  Design your computer your way: When you build your own computer, you avoid the manufactures suggested components are able to customize it in every possible way.  Want to add multiple fans to increase CPU speed?  Want to build a see-thru plastic tower to show off your handiwork?  The only limit to building your computer is your imagination.

2.  Easy upgrades: Because you built it, through trial and error you have a pretty good idea of how your components interact, allowing for easier upgrades.  The working knowledge you gain will enable you to service you computer often, and discover minor problems before they become major ones.

3. Save money: unless you are building the next supercomputer the size of a refrigerator, building your own computer will save you money.  By buying components from various suppliers, you avoid the high margins imposed on the masses that buy their PC’s at retail stores.  You also are able to spot problems with your PC before they erupt into major issues, and fix them yourself.  Becoming your own computer repairman can save you up to $80/hour.

4. An educational, inspiring experience: Ask anyone who has built their own computer if they had a positive experience, and many would respond in the affirmative.  Building a computer gives you a tremendous sense of satisfaction every time you power it on.  You are connected to your creation, you know each and every wire, and have the satisfaction of bringing to life such a complex piece of technology.

5. Start a business: if your good at it, building computers can become a business opportunity.  Much like automobiles, the general public is severely lacking in the educational knowledge required to build and fix computers.  Leverage your knowledge by building custom computers for clients, and when they break (hopefully not soon after you build them) offer your repair services.

6. Impress the ladies: Men, for those of you in college, you will be very popular among the females in the dorm if you can swoop in and fix their computer!
