Managing editor of Club386, he started his long journey with PC hardware back in 1989, when his Dad brought home a Sinclair PC200 with an 8MHz AMD 8086 CPU and woeful CGA graphics. With over 25 years of experience in PC hardware journalism, he’s benchmarked everything from the Voodoo3 to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. When he’s not fiddling with PCs, you can find him playing his guitars, painting Warhammer figures, and walking his dog on the South Downs.
