Hello.

Post by TristanM »

Hiya,

My name is Tristan, was told about the site by a work mate. Just hoping to learn a little about hardware and building a computer. Don't actually own a computer but work in tech support - funny, eh? Anyway, probably won't have much useful info to post, but will probably have the odd question here and there - especially if I do get around to building a machine.

Yeah, I've actually been lurking for a while, so I've read most of the recent threads :oops: in most of the forums... Seeing some of the things people are doing has really got me interested in a build, but I've alot to learn (and some cash to scrape together) before I get started.

Welcome!

If you spend any time on these boards, you will have a computer real soon. I now have 3 desktops and 2 laptops, and Im building a 3rd desktop. There are worse addictions, right? :lol:
