Project #1 Completed mid-2003

Functional Design was named in memory of my friend and business associate, Larry, who owned Functional Designs of Reno, NV. This project began as a simple search for components to build myself a new computer. Although I had assembled several computers for friends and family, repaired and upgraded many others, I had yet to build myself a powerful machine from the ground up. During my research for the best parts, I came across a number of images of customized machines. Modding, as it was known, was introduced to me just as custom model car building was when I was a teenager. Flipping through magazines at the news stand became clicking through pages of the Internet.

Come back again for more pictures of Functional Design and the story of how modding developed as one of my great passions.
