Do you have any non-anecdotal numbers? I had a quick search and couldn't find any.

I wouldn't class a professional who builds her own PC as obsessive, I would just classify her as someone for whom the time/money divide is biased towards available time. When I used to home build in the 90s I was in the same bracket. Nowadays it would make no more sense to me than doing my own plumbing.
