...even if I find that it is reasonable and well-thought out.
In this case, I need a new computer--and one that can reasonably handle some high-demand processes like HD video editing, motion graphics/3D creation, and, yes, some gaming. For a while, I debated whether to get a Mac Pro or not, and, after several months of pondering, reality eventually set in that I just flat out can't afford it.
So, instead, I decided to go the route I've done at least three times before and build it myself. December, too, is a good month to do this, because that's when all the parts sales come out, and I'll be raking in, at least, $150 in mail-in rebates. The machine I'm going to be building is going to cost less than the base Mac Pro, and, yet, will still have a rather modern Intel Quad Core processor with 8 GB of RAM and more hard drive space than many people can imagine (>1TB).
And, yet, even though I can afford this, it still makes me panicky inside. I feel like the exact opposite of a "shopaholic"!
