Ok, I feel like I'm in the third grade or an AA meeting but... I'm Preston and I am hardware junkie since the early 80's. I own a small custom PC build shop, and I work via online for a rather large US corp. This translates into, I'm poor, and I want to get the most bang for my buck, but within reason as I don't wish my PC to sound like the Space Shuttle taking off. I enjoy finding the balance between performance and silence in my PC builds to find that sweet spot of a cost effective, high performing system that doesn't make you have to peel the cat off the ceiling. I'm here to learn.
