Editor in Chief Anton Karmehed:
The reason I got involved with NH was my interest in hardware. I have always liked fiddling with computers, so testing hardware and writing reviews was like a dream to me.My first attempt was to be a hardware editor was when a Swedish computer games magazine were searching for new editors that could cover the hardware market. I sent in a test review on a Voodoo 2 SLI configuration but never got an answer on my application. But that didn’t discourage me and probably age was a factor as I was only 16 or 17 years old at the time.

As NH was started a year or to after that I was one of the first hardware editors to get onboard, and I got into the organization trough a friend of mine that had been recruited as a cooler editor on NH. I wrote a test review and was accepted to join the crew as a hardware editor.

Since I already had a huge interest for hardware I didn’t see it as a job more like an extra hobby. I have played computer/video games most of my life having a passion for PC hardware and consumer electronics came quite naturally since I needed these products to play the games I wanted. One thing led to another and today I hope to make a career out of what from the beginning only was fun and games.

My first work tasks at NH consisted of posting news and articles about video cards. Basically I assisted Anton Nilsson, who at that time was in charge of the video card section. After a few weeks consisting mainly of news posting I was given the opportunity to write my first video card review and of course I seized it. A few more video card and other product reviews followed but then I moved on to mainly reviewing motherboards.
