Chad Sebring (Cooling and Cases Editor)
Jumping into computers for just the aspect of gaming is how it all started for me. After a solid year of gaming caught the overclocking bug. With overclocking comes the need for better cooling, and I have had both air and water setups to tinker with. With a few years of abusing computer parts, I looked for something new.
I then decided to take my chances and try to get a review job with a online site. This lead to me starting my reviewing career under the tutelage of Chris Ram at RWlabs. As an avid overclocker, I am always looking for the next leg up in cooling and casing technology. Hopefully my drive to find the best of the best in cooling and cases technology will benefit the readers of TweakTown.

Marland Pittman (Power Supply Editor)
Marland V. Pittman has been tweaking computer components since he spilled a bowl of cereal on his TRS-80. Since that fateful day, he has been opening up and fixing computers, communing with the spirits of the great hardware universe. When he is not working his day job writing instruction manuals, he poses as a mild-mannered father to two children and husband to his lovely wife.
When opportunity knocks, he rushes to the lab to work with computer equipment in various configurations. Linux boxes serving files, self-built DVRs, the occasional repair for a friend or family member... even the occasional gaming rig... and all of it connects to power supplies. Most recently, opportunity provided the means for him to review power supplies here at TweakTown. Marland is happy to extract the information that will let readers know whether the most critical component in a build will ensure a massive overclock, restrain the power bill with great efficiency, or serve as a door stop or window prop when the lab gets too hot.

As a senior editor for TTGamer, Nathan's responsibilities will be much the same as they were with 3DA; reviews, news, articles and general website management and ideas.

Simon joined the 3DAvenue staff in 2003 as the senior console writer, and quickly worked his way into more managerial roles on top of his writing responsibilities, such as managing most PR contacts and organising new content for the website.

Simon, a senior editor at TTGamer, will continue his responsibilities from the former 3DAvenue via regular reviews and articles, as well as PR and content management.
