I used to love upgrading my home desktop, I'd research specs, figure out the best price/performance and upgrade components regularly (motherboard, CPU, hard drive, etc).

But now that most of my computer time is spent in a web browser (most of my coding is done at work so I rarely even run an IDE at home), I'm happy with my 5 year old laptop.

I built a nice 8 core Xeon desktop about 4 years ago, but haven't powered it on at all in at least the past 2 years, I moved a year ago and haven't even taken it out of the box, it's still sitting beside the computer desk.
