For us, PCs are far more than purely utilitarian appliances to help us work more efficiently and communicate more effectively. Think of our hobby as electronic thrill-seeking. The rush others get from BASE jumping or running with the bulls is the same rush we get seeing a wicked mod grow legs and take off.



It’s no secret that we like to live on the frontier of high-performance computing. Whether it’s volt-modding a graphics card, fashioning a custom case that blurs the line between form and function, or jumping in at the beta phase of the next killer app, we wa2nt to be first in line. Then again, we know you’re camped out in the same line.
