Normal
I have been following this concept for about 5 years now, more or less with anything that is over € 10,- value. I've spent a lot of money on a bed and on car tires for example, not because they look fancy but they are chosen for 100% performance and reliability, along with being used daily for important functions. I didn't want a box-spring bed which screws up the matrass' design and comfort, so I found a metal (aluminium) frame that's as basic as one could ask and I searched for the best matrass I could find. I can't imagine sleeping better.The same with my car: I don't spend money on shiny rims, I spend money on tires. Pretty rims don't keep my car on the road better, influence braking, acceleration and grip (unless you're talking about unsprung weight), but my tires do. But my PC choices are often fueled by desire more than usability, because I could just as well live with a €300 PC. It's very hard to justify almost any PC purchase I do since the tangible improvement is never in balance with the cost. But I spend an insane amount of time behind a keyboard and screen (hobby, interest and work) and I can say I got my job because of this, so in the end I just say: eff it, I want a Nova case case.
