I am enjoying my hobby because it can give me knowledge and can release my stress. Gaining this knowledge pretty helpful when some of my friend got trouble with their computer or laptop.

When we understand what are the usage of each parts in computer system, we can build our own system such as gaming rig, workstation, server and so on. we also know what parts that can be combine together and what parts that are not suitable to combine together. As example, i will give an overview how to build a new computer system and the pricing also.
