When I first started making AFV I was still somewhat a part of the cult of Mac. I tried using the Mac version of Daz, but quickly learned it ran better on my boot camp version of Windows. So no, I've never made a custom build. Mac doesn't even make that possible. Almost 5 yrs later though, I'm getting to the point where I think I could manage building a custom rig. Rewiring everything for the new psu gave me a lot of confidence to experiment with upgrades in the future. My new build I've got now, I toyed with the idea of building it myself, but ended up letting someone else build it because they could do it cheaper than it would have cost me to build it on my own. I ended up with a shitty psu, but I'm pretty sure everything else in there is pretty good.
