My name is Matt.

I am an A+ Certified Technician. That’s not saying much in the world of certifications but it has served me well. I have been a professional PC Repair Technician for 6.5 years now. I have worked for many companies from retail to nationwide distributors. I have worked retail PC sales to behind the counter repair and from inhouse IT support/repair to statewide field technical service where I am currently.

Lots and Lots of games…

So that’s us in a nutshell. I love to game. No I don’t have the latest and greatest gear that’s out there. Frankly I can’t afford it. However I am satisified with my PC and it’s performance. I intend to use this blog to help those without fundage much like myself still get the most for the dollar and achieve the best performance possible as well as offer technical advice and personal observations.
