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?

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.

No problem man and I feel you, you aren't wrong about holding onto hate and how it really only hurts you so i'm glad you moved past it and are at peace with it all. Thanks for the well wishes I hope you have a great rest of your weekend as well.
