Steven Vilbert is not only my younger brother, but he is also a seventeen year old who custom builds and sells computers.

Two years ago, Steven sold his first computer.  He learned to build these computers by taking apart an old computer piece by piece and reverse engineering.  Through years of practice, Steven has researched various parts and brands with the most quality and efficiency.  At first, he sold his computers mainly to friends and family.  However, now Steven uses Craig’s List as a way to advertise his products and gain a larger customer base.

Steven has engineered extremely high end PCs specifically for gaming.  These computers are designed to run graphically intensive games which provides a more immersive experience for the players.  It typically takes Steven about six hours of work to complete a single computer.  Building computers started out as simply a hobby for Steven, but he quickly realized that what he was building was a desired product in the marketplace, specifically for gamers.  This very small business is something that Steven hopes to grow throughout the years.  For right now, however, it is something he does on the side while he is in high school.

The picture above is one of Steven’s latest creations.
