It's all about what you like to do. Maybe he likes working on cars. Although those tools do look way too clean to be mechanic's tools.

If someone has the money to build their own computer, they certainly have the money to pay someone else to build it for them.
So your point is? And it relates to this how?

I like it. Though I would've went the classic black/white tile floor. His assortment of tools is what amazes me and the level of organization of the tools. I would've mixed in some (well actually a lot) fluorescent T8 fixtures in there, much more energy efficient than halogen, and a better CRI; fluorescent bulbs also have different kelvins ratings to render differnt color "warmths" or coolnesses or daylightedness.

It's nice that he has a separate "show" garage and a "work" garage.

Believe it or not some people work on cars as a hobby. Crazy huh? Also, if you look at the beginning pics (1994) its obvious he couldnt always afford a Porsche and that garage.

Your logic is flawed. Building your own PC is cheaper than paying someone else to do it. Try again...

Really? You should start up against Dell then... Oh wait, you can't build comparable computers for cheaper than Dell. And what's with this "Try Again" business? You trying to be like Mils or something?

There's something wrong when your garage looks way nicer than your house.

It's obviously not meant to be a real "garage". You're missing the point.
