Folks are talking about their 1st PC build.

Mine was this (not made by fragbox it was the case barebones shell).

I was 16yrs old got the kit on Xmas day with parts I had asked for. and the Mobo was DOA...oh I was heartbroken but we got a new one and ai built my 1st ever PC. I wish I still had pics of mine but it was basically 1-1 this including lighting as it was built into the case.

@Heffboom_Konijn I don't have photos of mine that I feel like digging up but I took a dremel to the side and put in an acrylic window, did the whole lights and cable sleeving thing.

16 year old me thought it was awesome and 18 year old me was so tired of it.

@starkatt @Heffboom_Konijn I wish I had taken pics of my first self-built rig. Vixenbox 1 was in a pretty standard min-tower running an ABit MB with an 64bit Athalon CPU back when 64bit was still kinda new, and I ran Windows XP on that for years. I was really proud of the transparent and illuminated power supply. It lit up my whole room back in Sunnyvale.

@kelseyhusky @starkatt ooooh, I remember those transparent CPUs. those were all the rage back then. I kinda miss them
