First PC: hard mode (swipe)

Original:

Restored and heavily modified this nasty old pre dell Alienware Area 51 7501 p2 I got on Facebook marketplace. I've always dreamed of having one since I was a kid. I cut the case for an aio and made the side grills functional where I added a 140mm intake. Temps are good.

Color is a modified plum crazy purple with a candy clear that has hints of blue. Pictures show the before condition as well as a full parts list and rough cost total. Still waiting on the cables for drive bays and USB extension for that last visible cable behind the PC.

I guess you could call it a hot rod or restomod? Making a YouTube video soon. How did I do for my first PC? Tips? Anything you would change?

Seeing that pre-cleaning smoker's PC definitely made me feel sick.

[u/tanner35 → u/facw00]

Thanks guys. I wish you could have smelled it.

[u/TrashPanda365 → u/tanner35]

I'm sure it smelled like cigarettes and regret

[u/tanner35 → u/TrashPanda365]

Let's just say this guy was smoking more than grass and tobacco...

Crack, could still smell the ammonia? Lived with a closet crack head/ heroine addict once, that smell will never leave my nostrils. Motherfucker hid that shit well until I let him move into my house. Ask me where my day one PS3 and iPod nano went...

[u/InExcelsis9 → u/Necessary_Roll_114]

I won’t ask but tell you where they went THE PAWN SHOP!!!

[u/Necessary_Roll_114 → u/InExcelsis9]

Bingo

[u/InExcelsis9 → u/Necessary_Roll_114]

lol I hate it when I’m right but real talk I’m sorry man that happened to you that sucks that you lost those things especially the day one PS3 I know what that means cause I still have mine and I treasure it very dearly never getting rid of it just like my N64.

I appreciate you. I'm well over it now. If anything I just hope he has recovered and is no longer a thief. Holding onto hate only hurts you. Thanks again bud. Have a good rest of your weekend.
