Hello everyone!
Don't feel like you have to read the whole post, It'll be a bit long!
I'm form Central Alberta, Canada and have been working on computers for about 11 years (since I was 12). I have collected a large collection of desktops, laptops and parts and do lots of selling and trading.
I love to talk to people with similar passions (I also love working on my truck, my hobby trains, and I'm getting into pro audio and have just started DJing.) I'm a certified Elementary School Teacher and currently work as a Support Analyst for a local School Division in Technology Services.
I'm a very light gamer, but mostly use my computers for video/picture/music editing, media servers, web browsing and productivity. My list of systems is below if you still feel like reading! None of them are spectacular but I have either built/refurbished/upgraded every single one to my specific needs. Have any questions, just ask
