David Lee
My name is David Lee, and I am a 23-year-old who enjoys assembling PC builds. I have no formal training or even a computer-related major, but my wonderful father introduced me to the world of PC building back in 2017, where we together made what would be the first of many builds. That build, albeit with some parts changed, is still the build I use today to play video games with my friends and my main vector of communication. Since then, I help consult friends and family alike on part recommendations, and computer building and maintenance. When I am not busy, I am usually monitoring the current market of deals and upcoming releases. I have built five builds in the past three years, three of those being near or during the COVID-19 crisis. I am thankful for Dr. Eller for giving the privilege to work on a system.
