Building your PC is the Hajj of gamers. You just really should do it at least once in your life (and having done it once, you'll want to do it again). Or like a Jedi building his lightsaber, you think Luke ordered in some pre-built thing from jawa.com?
Well, he used his father's up till the end of Empire Strikes Back, but look how that turned out for him.

When I upgrade next I'll probably just buy pre-built. I built this current computer, and really didn't enjoy myself.

If memory serves, he build his own in the remains of Obi-wan's place on Tatooine partly with his guidance. Generally the process takes quite some time(a month I believe) with the option for the speedy creation of a week(only to be used in case of emergency)
Of course sith tend to take lightsabers from anyplace they can get them, tombs of long dead sith jedi, former teachers(be they jedi or sith) so I guess they'd be the pre-built pc guys in that respect.
I'm okay with prebuilt as I've done my own once and it was fun but the price differences isn't as big as many folks point out with the exception of big shiny brands.
Also PX I gotcha sir. I might do some switch ups but I don't know with what. No one but us seems to run pudding so profits are still brilliant.

In A New Hope he gets given his father's (blue) lightsaber by Obi-wan, or at least shown, and then he's using a lightsaber of the same blue colour with no mention of him having built his own in the meantime.

Iirc attacking with your hero doesn't trigger freezing trap either so it's hard to check for that one (unsure about explosive trap). Obviously doesn't trigger vaporise.

He uses his fathers up until his hand and the saber is removed in his fight with vader. Before the events of Jedi to rescue Solo he ends up hanging out at Obi-wan's place on Tatooine to construct his own. This saber was green. As I remember at least Obi wan's force ghost helped him out by showing him where to find schematics of a lightsaber design in what was left of his home. This can be found in the Blue Ray version of Return of the Jedi and was originally a deleted scene.
Previously it was also mentioned in the Return of the Jedi Novelization(to the best of my memory)

Explosive triggers on attack to face. Misdirection only triggers if there is a minion on the board if you hit his face.

Ah, 0K, I thought you were talking about the very first. We get no time indication at all between the end of he Empire Strikes Back and the start of Return of the Jedi. Vader tells him after he surrenders himself "I see that you've forged yourself a new lightsaber" and swings it around, but we never knew anything about how/where it was done (not that it was important to the movie's plot).

Good morning friends! I work 48 hours this week but get paid for 62! It's going to be swell.

apparently we're supposed to get 6-10 inches between wednesday night and thursday morning. That's fine, I didn't wanna go home for Thanksgiving anyway.

There are normally plenty of sites which let you pick components at normal pricing, then they add a flat charge, or like 5-10% or something, to build it for you and deliver it already set up. That way you can get the cheaper(ish) computer, you get to pick exactly what you want, and you avoid getting stuck with some shitty branded case which doesn't fit anything, or them skimping on the psu/mobo/all the other stuff they tend to do to cut corners when they only advertise the cpu/gpu~

Just keep us out of it.
You guys can be the ones to live in igloos for once.

It's less about enjoying it (although I definitely do) and more about being fiscally responsible. You are capable of building your own computer, you have apparently already done so. Why would you pay someone several hundreds of dollars for labor and a brand name?
Being able to go in and troubleshoot your hardware while already knowing what you've got and what you've done to it is so useful.

The same reason people order food or buy pre made groceries even though they greatly over pay to do so. Even though they are capable of cooking.

Which is something I do all too often. I also recognize it is incredibly financially irresponsible and I'm trying to slowly remedy that.
I understand the reasoning behind buying things premade. But if you're capable of doing it yourself and saving tons of money, then you probably should.
Or not. It's just my $.02.

I have never built a computer.
But then again I've used laptops exclusively since I was about 17.
