As a kid growing up there was Nintendo and Sega. We all fought on which system was the better one. My friends were all with Sega, they said oh it has way better graphics. Where I was with Nintendo. I mean that’s all we had back then before the age of sound cards and video cards that could render 4k at a struggling 60fps. But we didn’t care back then Super Mario and Sonic looked great with their black dot as eyeballs. I’ve always been a console gamer but after graduating to a ps3 I decided that sitting In front of the tv 15feet playing on a controller didn’t do it for me anymore. I was tired of playing games at 30fps. In 2004 I decided to build my first gaming rig and it was water cooled it had 2 4870×2 GPUs and It could finally run Crysis at 70fps. But that wasn’t good enough for me. In 2006 I started building what was to me the most ultimate
Gaming rig I could have. It had to run all triple A titles at least 70fps. It had to be a triple monitor surround setup and had to be a racing sim as well. MISSION CONTROL was created. The rig is capable of running any game at 4k with a min of 65fps. Having the triple monitor setup I play on 2k but still beats those console days. But I do miss Mario and Zelda even some contra.

How I got in PCMR is plain and simple I love to game. I’ve gamed since Nintendo and Super Mario is my favourite old school game. I wanted a PC that could play it and play it well. Even at 4k, and I’m big on overclocking fan so that’s why I

water cool usually. I upgrade as parts get released and money is no object when it comes to PC. This rig plays any game even at 4k with a min 65fps.
