Tech ARP ("pronounced as Tech Up") or formally known as [http://www.techarp.com/show.aspx?fileID=1 Adrian's Rojak Pot] , is a Malaysian hardware enthusiast site which has been online since 1997.

Origin

The name of the site is derived from a Malaysian dish called rojak. Dr. Adrian Wong envisioned the site as a potpourri of different articles, as varied and as delectable as the ingredients of that dish. Thus, the name Adrian's Rojak Pot was born.

History

Tech ARP has come a long way since it was started it as a personal homepage on Tripod in 1997 by Dr. Adrian Wong. Only on 20th August 1998 did it evolve into a true computer hardware site which now offers reviews, editorials, guides and news related to computer hardware, software, computer technology, modding and also overclocking.

Tech ARP aims to focus on subjects that are rarely or never touched by other sites. It believes that it's better to provide some information on a little known subject than add more to the mountain of information on well-researched subjects.

In early 2006, Adrian's Rojak Pot is rebranded and is now officially known as Tech ARP. In the process, the Tech ARP website has gone through a makeover as well.
