Although the hardware side of computers can often be dull, a good case mod can help brighten your day. I took a boring old standard white case, sanded it, painted it purple, and then cut a hole in the side and bolted in a Lexan window. Cool hey ?

Well, besides case modding, my experience also includes PC building, hardware and software installation/troubleshooting, and networking. I have worked with virtually every implementation of Windows, and a variety of UNIX like operating systems. My current favourite OS is FreeDOS :)

Recent computer geek endevours include: building a MAME arcade machine and having fun building cables and attachments for my Commodore 64.

Just to confirm my computer affliction, here is the list of the computers I currently own:

• 2 Commodore Vic 20's
• Commodore 64 - Original Brown (breadbin)
• Commodore 64c - Newer white system with C128 like layout
• 3 Coleco Adams (hey they were free)
• Macintosh SE/30 - still useful today
• 486 SL 25 Laptop - When only Windows 3.1 will do
• 486 DX 66 - Dos gaming powerhouse
• 486 DX 100 - Almost too powerful for Dos gaming
• Pentium 120 Laptop - I still use it !
• Pentium 166 MMX - Telent BBS server (running BSD)
• Pentium 2 - 233 - My first PII
• Celeron 450 - Runs my webserver (actually overclocked 300A)
• Pentium 3 933 - with 1/2 gig of ram, still a very fast desktop
• Duron 1300 - this used to run my server, but I ended up sticking it in my MAME box
