There is no end to what you can accomplish kind of like cycling where you are constantly reevaluating your goals.
I know what you mean, and agree that you can draw a lot of parallels between the two activities. I guess I was just saying that I really enjoy riding the bikes that I have built, while the computer I built is just another computer to me. Now it just does computer stuff, kind of like the others (just to elaborate, though, it was probably the complete opposite of your builds. Being my first time, I just got a full size case and figured it would give me more room to work and give me the chance to add stuff later. The hardware I used wasn't anything special either. I think the most fun for me was setting up all the fans).

This is very true.
