Besides doing product reviews, I have a passion for computers, cars, gaming, outdoors, aviation and movies and music. While growing up I got into computers after picking up old computers off the curb fixing, tinkering and overclocking. I still remember the first computer I overclocked, it was a old Pentium II 400mHz that I overclocked to 550mHz upon which it shorted out. Ever since then I have been interested in computers and I have been building them for over 15 years and I do not foresee this ever changing. While my schooling background is in Aviation I feel that computers reaches into all facets of life and industries.
