To be fair to the author of this article, he is talking about pre-built, off the shelf computers, not the bad ass custom built system that you poured all of your spare time and money into. The thrill definitely isn't gone in the enthusiast community, that's for sure.
But, to steal from the late, great B.B. King: for most people, the thrill is gone. And that’s because the PC has become the furniture of our digital lives. It’s absolutely necessary. You wouldn’t want to be without it. But you don’t get very excited about it, don’t brag about it, don’t replace it very often, and don’t expect revolutionary new features when you do.
