Not really up there, I voted music, but that doesn't really explain it.

Audiophilia, and headphone hi-fi. It's such an addictive and engaging (and expensive :P) hobby, and I love both the music and the gear equally. The journey from $20 headphones that I thought sounded good to a system that is worth quite a bit more than my computer was has been amazing, and I've met some good friends along the way. I've more or less moved on from overclocking and PC gaming (sold my desktop) and hi-fi has completely swallowed my interests.

For me, it's music in general.

Playing(guitar/bass/drums/clarinet), recording, producing, performing, listening.

Paintball, it's as expensive as computers if not more. I enjoy shooting people in a safe and still somewhat painful way.

Music, by far.

I enjoy a few aspects of the business - I play tuba with 2 ensembles, conducted a third, record those groups and several small ensembles within them, and build/tweak audio gear. Eventually, I'd hope to be involved in the design of that hardware. I'd also consider myself an audiophile, so needless to say it is quite the cash cow of it's own.

I probably spend more time in music related activities than with computer-related ones. (Wait - I'm a member at OCN - nevermind. )

My vote isn't really up there. I spose it'd be "music".

But I'm into audio "equipment" moreso than music. I LOVE building my ultimate home theater setup, and my ultimate car audio setups. I know I'll never afford them again (already HAD a $12,000 car system)....but it never hurts to dream .
