not having the proper tools was a big part of it for me. if i had a CNC machine or access to one regularly, you bet i'd build my own block before i bought one. and i do it even if it costs a bit more b/c i would get to say i did it w/ my own 2 hands (plus a machine). people are still into the custom HeatCore stage and i don't see THAT many people selling out and buying BIX's, well not on this forum at least. i do have plans for a block soon that i would like everyone's opinion on. but that post will have to wait till tomorrow or another day.
another factos is that today we live in an age where time is serious money. people don't have the time to put into building blocks b/c they have families to take care of an provide for. man, i WISH i could design blocks and rads for a watercooling company, but how many people get that job? i'm a software developer and i work 9hrs a day and hardly have time to come home cook, watch some games, and spend time w/ the ol' lady.
Tools and Time, that's all a man needs nowadays.
