Introduction
This page lists the components and specifications for my various pieces of computer hardware. This is meant to be an easy reference for myself when I need to figure out, for example, what specific motherboard I had purchased for my last computer, where to get the latest BIOS update for my laptop, etc. I'm placing it on my website simply because it's the easiest thing for me to access at any given time. Feel free to take a look at the specs if you're interested in such things.
Note: Many of the links on this page for older products no longer work, due to vendor website changes or products moving off of active support. I may occasionally update a link if/when I find one for a component I'm actively researching, but in general they'll stay broken as constantly maintaining the links is just not worthwhile.
