Billy, I really think it has more to with what we used to call "form and function" in those design, tech and engineering courses. Some people are just purists and there is nothing wrong with that. There are also some integrated systems where you scratch your head and go "what were they thinking?" That happens a LOT. We've built several of our home computers but often don't bother. It really depends on what we want to do with them. The really "custom" one somehow went to college. I hope it graduates someday.
