So Pierre, tell me a little bit about yourself and how you started modding?

Okay, my name is Pierre and live in Borås, Sweden. I’ve always been the technical and tinkering kind of guy. I built my first PC in the 90’s when I had saved enough to buy the hardware. It was an AMD K6-2 machine. I think this was 98 or possibly 99.

A few years later I upgraded to another system based on the AMD Thunderbird which I later decided to watercool. This is where it all began with building my own watercooling, it was not easy to build watercooled systems back then like it is now. I had to build my own waterblock, which i did from a solid piece of copper. The rest of the cooling was based on what was possible to use back then, which was aquarium pumps, motorcycle or car parts, and plastic tubing.

Since there was neither chassis with space for watercooling or pieces sized to fit a chassis I had to cut a lot to be able to mount anything and fit it inside.

After that we can fast forward to recent years. There has not been much done until recent in the modding department, I’ve done my own finish for a 4.0 Audio setup in my living room and speaker stands for the front speakers. This is the latest thing I’ve made before Exile and the gap in between is probably about 5 years.
