About Me:
 
I'm what you would call a computer enthusiast rather than a gamer. My main pc is used primarily as home recording studio, as well as being used for standard desktop functions and the occasional driving sim. I'm a great believer in getting the best out of and recycling old hardware - unless you're a hardcore gamer you don't really need the latest and fastest stuff. I've scratch built several systems and am developing an interest in modding.

Informed and intelligent comments and questions welcome. Please note - I have no time for trolls! Such comments will be deleted and you will be blocked!
