Our Mission
We are a team of hardware enthusiasts who refuse to let good technology go to waste. Our passion lies in restoring, modifying, and finding new uses for components that the industry considers “obsolete.”
From maximizing Xeon processors on affordable X99 platforms to modifying BIOS for Frankenstein builds, we explore creative ways to extend the life of aging silicon. We share our discoveries through detailed guides and rigorous testing, helping you unlock hidden potential in budget hardware. Because sometimes, the best price-to-performance ratio comes from the most unexpected places.
