Hi everyone,
I've been lurking around the forum for a while now, reading through repair logs, recapping projects, and the occasional hardware horror story, so I figured it was about time to introduce myself.
I'm David, late 30s, from somewhere in Europe, and I've always had a habit of collecting more projects than I can realistically finish. Professionally I work in a technical field, but most of my free time ends up being spent taking things apart, fixing them, or occasionally making them worse before they get better.
My interests are all over the place. Old computer hardware, electronics repair, microcontroller projects, networking, mechanical tinkering, 3D printing, and anything else that seems interesting enough to consume an entire weekend. If it contains screws, circuit boards, or mysterious engineering decisions, I'll probably end up investigating it sooner or later.
I got into recapping several years ago after attempting to revive an aging motherboard that should have been retired long before I got my hands on it. Since then I've worked on a variety of boards, power supplies, and other electronics, mostly for personal projects and friends. I wouldn't call soldering my favorite activity, but I enjoy the satisfaction of bringing old hardware back to life.
Current projects include restoring a few retro PCs, organizing a growing collection of test equipment, and trying to finish at least one of the dozen half-completed ideas scattered around my workshop. Like many hobbyists, I spend almost as much time planning projects as actually completing them.
My workbench currently consists of a decent soldering station, oscilloscope, bench power supply, logic analyzer, and an ever-expanding collection of tools that somehow never includes the exact tool I need at any given moment.
On the software side, I'm primarily a Linux user, although I'll work with just about anything when the situation calls for it. I enjoy learning how systems work beneath the surface and have a particular appreciation for older hardware and software that can still teach valuable lessons today.
Music tastes range from classic rock and metal to electronic music, depending on the day. I don't watch much television, but I do spend far too much time reading technical documentation, browsing forums, and researching projects that may never leave the drawing board.
I've been told that my forum posts tend to become longer than intended, especially when discussing technical subjects, so consider this an early warning.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here, sharing projects, and hopefully contributing something useful along the way.
Thanks for having me.

Greetings to everyone from Greece!
My passion is personal PCs (IBM compatibles) and I'm a PC user since the age of 5 (1989).
I have a good collection of vintage hardware and on some older motherboards I have done some recapping of bad capacitors.Comment
