Male

Biography:

Been a computer nutter since the golden age of the ZX81 and Jupiter ACE, since then pretty much owned most of the main computers and consoles from the 70's onwards except Nintendo curiously until I got a wii for my daughter. Made my transition to PC at the height of the Amiga years with a P75 Intel rig (p90 was fastest available at the time) and have never looked back, PC FOREVER! After finnishing college I ran a computer/consoles shop/repair centre for 4 years before getting bored of the long hours, then went back to studying for my IT & Programming qualifications for about another 4 years on and off. Got into PC Building around 1992 and loved all the messing and furtleing about inside cases and tweaking settings, although never been into the case modding thing.
