("As far as his computer knowledge goes...." I don't see any reason why it should be either one really I just guessed. Both of them sound fine to me. "As far as his computer knowledge goes, he seems pretty confident." "As far as his computer knowledge goes, he is asking for help." ?)

I would rather translate the 2nd sentence by "he's reliable. "

Aren't you getting mixed up with 頼りになる there? 彼は頼りになる == He is reliable. 彼はだれかを頼りにしている == He is relying on somebody. 彼は頼りにしているX == the X he is relying on.

(I'm not sure how natural 頼りにしている with a dropped を clause is anyway...)
