PC modding

As a big fan of PC builds and mods of all kinds, I thought I’d share my own history of PC’s through this century. My latest PC is the first time I had a go at watercooling, albeit with a kit and only with CPU cooling, but I hope that in the future I’ll be bold enough to try something harder (and more expensive)!

As a side note, some of the best PC mods I have seen are on the modding section of bit-tech.net, my go-to website for PC software and hardware, which also hosts monthly modding competitions as well as a number if modding guides and project logs.

So below are some detail and images of my past PCs.
