UNSW Computer Enthusiasts Society, also known as UNSW PCSoc, is a social club at the University of New South Wales founded in September 2015, with the primary aim of providing an opportunity for people to learn, discuss and engage with current and emerging computer hardware technology and culture, through a community of people interested in building and optimising PCs.
Formation
D. Sison, together with Mr X, got the idea in the latter months of 2015. Sison was reluctant to start the society till he determined that there would be a large enough following. The two would remain in regular correspondence till the following year when they had the necessary numbers to support the formation of the society.
As per ARC reqs, 3-5 ppl got together and said yeet!
