I spend almost all of my time sat at my computer, doing various things, from chatting on MSN, to making websites, to playing games, to work, to ... well everything really, lol. Computers are my favourite hobby. I also love building and tweaking computers, and as a result of that, it's rare that I keep a system for more than two months without changing half of it, lol ...

Not too bad eh? I always build my own computers, and I usually buy and sell all my hardware at the shop where I work, as I get a decent price there, although I have been known to buy stuff online too. I've tried many different systems over time, both AMD and Intel based, and so far I'd have to say that my favourite is the Pentium IV's, for what I do, they just seem to be faster!
