    Building PCs used to be fun and cool and only moderately expensive but now you have to take out a loan. :(

      It has gotten more expensive, but it’s also worth noting the impact of inflation.

      A $250 dGPU from 2004 would be like $420 in modern dollars. That being said you get a pretty good deal for $250 in 2004.
