コンピューターの知識にかけては（ ）。
◯彼は自信があるらしい
×彼は頼りにしている。
("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." ?)
