Building your own laptop makes about as much sense as retrofitting a Honda Civic with a 1000hp motor, but the lack of practicality never stopped the latter activity, nor ours. My primary goal in building a laptop was to build something I would use every day. I had previously spent several years at Chumby building hardware platforms that I\u2019m ashamed to admit I rarely used. My parents and siblings loved those little boxes, but they weren\u2019t powerful enough for a geek like me. I try to allocate my discretionary funds towards things based on how often I use them. Hence, I have a nice bed, as I spend a third of my life in it.
