It was founded in 2000, became a fully professional online publication in 2005, and announced its acquisition by Dennis Publishing in October 2008. Dennis Publishing then partnered the site with existing monthly publication Custom PC magazine, making Bit-Tech the online version of the magazine. At this point the two editorial teams were totally integrated. However, due to a restructure in January 2012 the website and magazine had separate editors again, although several of the writers still contributed material to both publications. It is owned by The Media Team.
The website caters specifically for the computer hardware enthusiast market, providing reviews and articles on higher end hardware and games. Bit-Tech is also prominent in the custom case modding scene, providing a focus point for professional and amateur case modders. Much of the site's content and writing style revolve around this particular reader-base, and its regular readers have been responsible for some of the most well known case mods, such as Orac3 and the Half-Life 2 mod Black Mesa.
