PC = 80%, PS3 = 15%, Wii = 4.9%, 360 = 0.1%

Love straight vanilla games but will never download a mod unless its beneficial or won't mess up the main game.

I got a 1000w PSU for christmas but last time I got an upgrade was 2008.

Custom built. PRE-BUILTS ARE TEH DEVIL!

No. Used Mac before and absolutely hate everything about it. Anything it can do, PC does best. Not better, best. There is no advantage whatsoever. As you can tell, I'm an extreme Mac hater.

I got my computer around a year ago, don't see myself upgrading until around 3 years from now at least. I also have a 360 and wii, but 90% of my time is on pc. I will mod games if there's good mods, but usually won't buy games just because they have good mod support. No computer classes. And I built my computer. Like other pc gamers say, it's really easy. And no to the last question.

I own a PC for the RTS. Consoles have outsripped PCs even in terms of FPS at this point though. If it was possible to get good RTS on consoles I wouldn't probably get another PC because it's just not worth it in terms of cost compared to how long the PC lasts, which is only 3-4 years compared to the 5-7 years of a console.

Why the specific questions if you don't mind me asking?skrat_01

I felt these questions would reveal more than what a simple 'Yes or No' type poll would be capable of. These were just the ones I could think of off the top of my head.Additional questions I had were...

Have you ever built a PC for somebody else?

Do you find troubleshooting to be fun or annoying?

Have you ever had a PSU fail and damage your system?

What was your first computer(i.e. Amiga, x86, Mac, Intel CPU, AMD CPU, Geforce, 3dfx)?

Have you ever struck your system out of anger?

*EDIT*SORRY about the game pirating question...if you read please update and remove your answer. I didn't know it was against TOU.

Yes.

Do you find troubleshooting to be fun or annoying?

It was annoying as **** back in the day. Today's systems though, it's a complete non-issue. PCs are actually better than consoles in this regard because the few times I get an error I can just fix it myself. With consoles these days, you're stuck waiting for a patch.

Have you ever had a PSU fail and damage your system?

No.

What was your first computer(i.e. Amiga, x86, Mac, Intel CPU, AMD CPU, Geforce, 3dfx)?

First that was really mine was an old shell of an HP my dad gave me when I was like 12~13. I gutted it, and put in all new components.

No.

I forgot the brand, and never knew what components it had, my second computer was some gateway with an intel processor and a nvidia gf2mx220(still works :D)Although the hdd in every pre-built I've ever owned had been horrible and broken...

Have you ever struck your system out of anger?

I suppose, I hit mine almost every day 'cause some part of it vibrates annoyingly, and the only way to fix it is with hitting it.

Admitting to having pirated games is against the forum rules...
