Hardware Editor
Chris has spent most of his adult life as a PC hardware tragic. He spent several years working in IT retail before joining MSI, serving in a component marketing role. He then jumped over the fence to enter the media sphere, writing for publications including PC & Tech Authority and APC magazines, and, more recently, PC Gamer. While he appreciates the latest, greatest, and most powerful PC hardware, he loves small form factor and low-noise systems. A well-built Mini-ITX system always brings a smile to his dial.
Chris, based in Bangkok, Thailand, has contributed 43 reviews, 23 news posts, and 9 feature articles to TweakTown since September 2024.
