Could you give some examples as to the benefits of building a killer PC? What interesting things can you do with it, that you previously couldn't? Or is it simply the speed and the ease of use? I'm also thinking of building a desktop PC, but I'm afraid that I won't be needing it. I don't game, I mostly write programs and browse the web. Does it really change things in terms of latency and if it does, does that have an impact on the relationship with your computer?

For me it is doing big data processing that your average laptop cannot handle well. I have the top Core i7 and I see it as a challenge using it to the fullest. You can run the heaviest clunkiest IDE with ease. Also the flexibility and resiliency of having multiple hard drives (a sacrosanct SSD for the system, and a HDD for messing around). Plus I can run VMs with ease when I get tired of Windows. Easily extendable RAM, tons of usb ports, the list goes on... Plus it was fun to build and I learned a lot.
