Full Name: John Goedde Country: USA (Mountain View, California) Handle: Trick Master
If there were a modders anonymous program, you could bet John would be there. In his own words, John spends an inordinate amount of his free time modding PCs:
"I'll be the first to admit that I have a serious addiction to PC Modding. I almost enjoy building computers more than playing on them."
With over 50 hours invested in this build, John sets himself a new bar for build quality and aesthetics:
"This computer is hands-down the finest machine I've ever put together, it's a true work of art! It's almost as fun to look at as it is to game on."
While John's talents are easily evident in the photos seen here, he's quick to point out that while he's got the PC-building genes in the family, his brother is the resident photography expert:
"Special thanks to my brother, Dave Goedde for the awesome photos!"
Congrats John, and enjoy your reign on the "Rig of the Month" page this March!
