Hey everyone, this is just a quick post to see if any of you might be interested in joining our team as reviewers. We have been getting more and more review requests lately, and the last thing I will do is turn down a request, so I am in the market for 2-3 additional reviewers to help keep up with the pace and lessen the workload on my current staff.

Here's how it goes. First, you must be proficient in the English language. This is all about writing, and if your writing skills aren't at least decent, you probably won't make the cut.

Previous experience is not required but it certainly helps. Also, you need a good background in computers in general, understanding the basics of hardware, benchmarking, etc.

You will need 24/7 access to a quality digital camera. Also, you must live in the US or Canada. It would simply be too difficult and expensive to send products overseas for review.

Reviews will need to be completed in a timely manner. I will go more into this should you be interested.

Your position is not paid, but you will get to keep the product after you have completed the review. You are free to use it for yourself, give it to a friend, etc. It's yours, enjoy.

If you want more info, just shoot me a PM and I will get back to you. :)

Are the reviewers allowed to solicit review samples of their own accord as well as receive samples from you to review?

Do you mean, can you review stuff you already own? If so, sure thing.

Part of the initial process is that I ask each candidate to write a sample review, so I can get an idea of your writing level, etc.

Aaaw, I have always longed to be a reviewer. But I live in Sweden!!!! What if i pay the shipment? :P

Even though I live in Sweden I have pretty good writing skills and many friends that can help me correcting grammar.

I do believe I have enough experience, at least for some products.

The main problem is not the shipping costs, but getting sponsors to ship stuff directly out of the country...

What I ment was going to the vendors (like I do now) and getting products for review. Then of course if there's some thing needs reviewed it could be sent.

You can check out some of my stuff on PcFrags.com.

Like in house right now I have a Gatekeeper Pico from Yoggie, a UFO SunBeamTech case, couple of Icy Boxes, and a NexXxos X+ water block, Seventeem 1200 watt on the way, just finished some Mushkin 12800, and a HTPC case.

Starting to have pretty good contacts.

I have a liquid cooled pc rig as well so I have the ability to review water cooling
components.

I also have A Pentax K100D DSLR camera for taking pictures.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
