So back on Dos.

[TheSilentChamber]

Let me tell you about the days of my first forum.

[TheSilentChamber]

Name: TheSilentChamber (of course.... tell me the symbolism in this name CASH REWARD!)

[TheSilentChamber]

Place: Virtual Hideout

[TheSilentChamber]

this was THE place for computer modding, Cira Late 1990s.

[TheSilentChamber]

For those not in the know, computer (case) modding was something that happend just before the ricer epidemic of the early 2000's. It involved primarily cutting holes in your computer for extra fans, overclocking, putting windows (of the clear see through variety) in places where they didnt belong, and rattle canning your computer in an outburst of computer modification. To set yourself apart from the other computer geeks.

[TheSilentChamber]

I quickly ascended the ranks of the site and forum, till I was well known, well respected, and well hated. My weapon of choice in those days: AMD and watercooling. Before that was the cool thing to do. I remember my primortial beast was a 1.2ghz AMD processor with watercooling that was overclocked to over 2.8ghz and throwing down mad game in a neon lit all aluminum case.

[TheSilentChamber]

Those specs still hold true even ten years later. Granted bus speed and ram and everything else has improved significantly.

[TheSilentChamber]

I developed a line of fan speed contolers with color graduating LED indicators- routine today, done it with resistors and Potentiometer back in the day.

[TheSilentChamber]

Soon landed a few jobs writing articles for PC modding sites - all disfunct as of date.

[TheSilentChamber]

I was a teenager at the time, first "job" I had was writing articles for a modding website. no pay, but I got to keep merch that was gifted to me in exchange for a review. I was in heaven.

[TheSilentChamber]

All in well in the early years of "The Chamber". Growing respect, growing hatred, growing talent. The Trifecta.

[TheSilentChamber]

Back to the story. As I moved up the ranks in the world. I quickly became annoyed with all the plankton. Bottom feeders. Hacks. Posers.

[TheSilentChamber]

Soooo... after a few years.


and this was before my heavy drinking AND before my drug era.
