You don't make friends with salad. I tweak and overclock, cool this and drill that, and I don't really care about the fps gain or the percentage points in a benchmark. It's something I can tune. A console is sterile, an appliance. Sometimes all I want to do is sit down in front of the TV and play NHL 2000, etc.
Console games have their place, but PC games rule.
Everyone knows the best bands are affiliated with Satan. The reason I recently spent a lot of money on my 'gaming rig' was simply because I also use this rig for work. If I didn't need it for work, I would still be playing games on my P Pro 200. You have to purchase memory cards, extra controller etc. I waited for the price to drop on the DC and PSX before I bought them.
