I have always been a fan of the finer things even as a child I found myself asking for the Armani over Oscar Della Renta. There was only one problem, my Draft Beer pockets couldn't afford my Champagne dreams. Age, Education and doing without one to afford the other has opened opportunities but there are still things I desire that I unfortunately cannot afford. My tastes are no different when it comes to my personal computer, I have always desired to have the very best but keeping up with the ever changing technology was something I was never able to afford. Now that I have let the cat out of the bag, hopefully you understand why I became a computer hardware enthusiast.

Hardware enthusiasts were born out of poverty, (I say that lightly) the inability to monetarily keep up with changing technology. Our main purpose in life was to take a less superior product and tune it to outperform even the most superior. It was the unaffordability of the higher end that bread the enthusiast but times have changed. There is less of a gap between the high end and the mainstream than ever before. What was once only obtainable to some is now within reach to many. MSI is one of the first manufacturers to bring enthusiast level hardware to the mainstream. This process began three years ago with the introduction of their Gaming line. MSI Gaming products include many features and options you may expect to find on higher end products while not skimping on the quality of build. The Z97 Gaming 9 Motherboard is the Flagship of the Gaming series.
