It's not for me but I'm adjacent to rural and mining industries and understand the joy of making an OTT desktop computing rig or near industrial home-lab.

In a similar manner a mechanic that works on aircraft engines for crop dusters capable of short take off and landing with heavy loads and drafting over fields with low clearance can also enjoy tuning the heck out of a V-8 and taking it to the limit.
