CUSTOM PC BUILD - Ashvij Vaidhya

My custom built beast of a PC !!

Well , for starters , I have always had an interest in technology, especially when it came to computers. I got my hands on my first computer at the age of 5 , back in 1999 when my dad bought the first PC to our house.I still remember my confusion when I first saw this huge piece of sophisticated technology. But as time passed , I realised that the computer is much more than a tool to entertain myself.

Well, nothing has changed since then , and my interest in computers still remains strong. Armed with nothing but self-taught knowledge , I set out to build my own custom PC from scratch in the summer of 2013. And this is what I have created:
