I like to do a lot of different things. Mostly things that challenge my brain, and give me complex problems to solve. Other stuff is just random and for fun. Here is a bunch of things that I am doing or have done in the past. Or things I like to do in my free time
I have been interested in computers from whenever I could remember, and I was lucky enough to be able to mess around with computers my entire life, and the spark of curiosity and awe that computers gave me will stick with me for the rest of my life!
Around 2014 I built my first computer from the ground up... and then blew it up... I was using an AMD APU and overclocked it as far as it could go, the problem was that my motherboard didn't like all the power that it was drawing, and one of the MOSFETs exploded...
After I learned my lesson, I got better components that could handle the crazy things that I would through at it.
This is my current Build:
Case: Phanteks Enthoo PRO
MB: ASRock Z97X Killer
CPU: i7 4790K | Overclocked to 4.7GHz

PSU: Seasonic Focus V3 GX-1000 | 750 Watt, Modular

I have been working on and off running a private Minecraft server from my computer for my friends and family.
Currently I have a modded Minecraft server running with around 200 mods!
not only that but it has to be the Java version of Minecraft, so boy dose that take up buttload of RAM!
Here are a few screenshots of my base.
it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it's getting there
To get a feel for how Windows Server I am currently running Server 2016 on an older rack-mounted Poweredge Server.
Playing around with this I now have hands-on experience with active directory, adding users and commuters to a domain, group policy, and much more!
I plan to continue messing with it and learn what I can in my sandbox environment!
