the ones who joke about it probably didn't pay for most of it if any of it....those who built it from scratch using their own money are generally proud to state that.

Definitely saved up one summer and used all of it to buy parts for the computer, my first build computer, ahh the memories. Now I pretty much buy parts if I see a good deal and stockpile them until i can build a computer.
