(Backstory you can skip over it if you want.)
Well,.
As just a brief starter, I fell into computers by accident a stroke of the luck kind of thing.
But I soon there discovered I quite enjoyed computer's mainly building, and maintaining.
I'm kinda obsessed with the speed of a computer,.
I started out using Windows 95-98, with barely 64mb's of memory playing Commander Keen.
And I Kinda enjoyed it, took apart my first hard drive when I was about 10-12 if memory serve's me right.
(....obviously didn't work afterwards I just wanted to see inside and it was dead.)
Got my first computer off my brother.
Nice Gigabyte Board, running a AMD Athlon processor.
And then met someone who would change my life.
A person named Wesley Kaminski, in all seriousness I dislike him as a Computer Tech.
Cause he would constantly batter people about how vast his knowledge supposedly was.
And would constantly put people down cause of it.
Like he was God's gift to the world of computers.
So seeing his arrogance I wanted to shut him up and put him in my place.
Thus how I discovered my calling.
My computer going on the fritz I decided to embark and build my own.
And I did just that a nice Intel Dual Core CPU, and a Radeon HD 2600 video on a ASUS P5QL Pro.
I didn't however stop there, after proving I could build one.
I moved onto upgrading that but I still wasn't satisfied.
So I built another computer with a Gigabyte EP45T USB 3.0
And a Nice Intel Quad 9550, to surpass his computer even more so when I cross-fired 2 HIS Radeon HD 5670's
Continuing on from there I saw this video.

Samsung's SSD awesomeness video.
Although being poor and having to work a lot.
Just to afford to build these, I decided to go with something that head the speed I wanted.
But also something I could afford.

The Kingston V-Series Double pack SSD's.
Two 30gb SSD's for the price of one.
So I studied and increased my knowledge more of how Raid arrays work.
And using 6, I was able to achieve a speed of 500mb's a second, I know it can be more but to do everything I want.
With my motherboard I'm minus one port and can't afford a raid card to get past this issue.
So now the question I faced was.
Where do I go from here?
I beat the rival I had the person of whom I challenged to better myself.
I feel when people are faced with a challenge either placed in front of them or one they create.
They are given the chance to overcome it and grow from it.
I wouldn't have learned this much about computer's or started going to a technical school.
So I thought what could I do now to keep moving forward.
To keep bettering myself.
And then it dawned on me.
The Solid State Awesomeness video.
That Samsung released.
So I spent hour's Googling away trying to find out who that person is, with just a name to go by.
A Man named Paul, and by a stroke of luck, and genius, a blessing was bestowed upon me.
I discovered that man's Twitter, and he told me sense he is no longer under contract with Samsung.
He can freely share his knowledge and how he achieved a computer with 2gb of speed.
And with the knowledge he openly shared with me, and the support he has given towards this in teaching me a few thing's I didn't know.
I am ready to embark on my new project.
Using his knowledge, the knowledge of the school techs, the knowledge of my friends at Google.
All of whom I have met by fate, to help me grow stronger.
I shall use everyone's knowledge and Wisdom I've learned on the net.
In the school, taught myself, to create and surpass Paul Curry's computer from Samsung Awesomeness.
Even though the record has been beaten a few time's now including once from Intel.
In my Project, which I have named.
~Project X~
The Goal of which is to achieve a 3-4gb of speed on a consumer computer.
It is hard for the fact about every part for the computer I got to buy myself.
Certain thing's I got to buy the big main part's.
Here is the current list of part's I am working to gather.
