DV Hardware - The making of
The site was found in July 2002 by me (Thomas De Maesschalck) and a buddy. At first the site was called DarkVision - it was all in Dutch and we published general news, tech news and sports news.
There's not really a particular reason why the site was called DarkVision, I came up with the name during a brainstorming session and decided to stick with it because I liked the name. After a couple of weeks DarkVision became more and more tech oriented and after some time I decided to switch the site to English to be able to reach a much bigger readership.
Since the start DV Hardware has grown enormously and the amount of traffic coming to this website is still growing steady.
Both the creators Thomas De Maesschalck & Thomas Braeckman live in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium. The country with world's most delicious chocolate, beer and French fries ;)

I received my first PC in the early 90s - it was a 386 with a HDD under 100MB and a monochrome CRT display. Since then a lot has changed in this amazingly fast moving computer world. I've worked with the K5 from AMD, Pentium 3, Pentium 4, Athlon 64 and the new Core 2 Duo.
