It's as old as Man... or at least Males. Look at the people who Overclock and tweak every piece of PC hardware imaginable. That goes back to people playing with tubes and reading Popular Mechanics in their basement... Actually, that there may be the key: pick up a copy of PM and notice that despite the name it isnt just about cars, it is about anything you can take a screwdriver to and open up. I never liked cars, but when I was a kid I read PM every month for columns on electronics and construction.... Part of my "Everything you want to know about people, you can learn from TV": watch Home Improvement and you will understand males. "More Power" is always better.
