Hi My name Is Ken Byrnes I'm 46, I'm marred and have 2 kids, I live in Canberra AUS. I'm only new to the Modding world of custom PC building. I have build 2 or 3 normal PC's over the years, But have only just got into making then stand out from the normal every day PC.
I work as a spray painter 5 days a week for a sign shop. I have always loved any and all kinds of art. I do all my own photo-shop work. I have also been a Pro game Texture artist and have a diploma in game design as well as being Pro Airbrush artist. But I no longer do a lot of that any more just don't have the time any more.
You can find some of my art work here of what i have done in the past. http://zenator.wix.com/zenator-art
My first PC case mod is linked here, http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=1149976
Like I was saying I'm new to modding. and would like to make it a full time job. I'm planing to buy a small CNC router to start making custom PC's as well as custom parts. But first I felt I needed to show what kind to PC's I can build.
Why did I start PC modding ? Mostly because I have all ways liked playing games and building PC's and with all my art skills, and now leaning how to use a CNC router at work, I think maybe I have found some way to bring out my art and have some fun at the same time.
If you have any more questions ask away.
