Computers

I'm a huge computer enthusiast and I always love building, upgrading and modding computers. I've built countless computers and own quite a number myself. I've gathered a lot of spare parts and often put computers together just for fun. Always good for practice, at least!

I've also built and worked on countless computers for friends and various clients as well. This area showcases all kinds of work I've done on computers in the past, so feel free to browse the showcase below, or use the menu above to go to a specific featured area!

You can click on any of the images in the showcase below to view a more detailed page or image, depending on what is available!
