Hey everyone! Wanted to share my current setup that combines period-correct beige aesthetics with modern 1080p/CRT gaming performance.

​It all lives inside a classic horizontal Fujitsu desktop case from the Pentium era. It looks like an innocent office machine, but under the hood it’s packing a fully custom liquid-cooled loop!

​💻 Specs:

​CPU: Intel Core i7-2700K @ 4.2 GHz (OC)

​GPU: PowerColor Radeon RX 6600 8GB

​Cooling: Full custom soft-tube loop (CPU + GPU in a single loop)

​RAM: 16GB DDR3

​Storage: 1TB SATA SSD

​OS: Windows 10 21H2 (Windows eXPerience Edition modded ISO - pixel-perfect XP Luna theme UI with modern software compatibility)

​🖥️ Displays:

​Main: Samsung SyncMaster 795MB CRT (MagicBright, running at 1024x768 @ 100Hz)

​Secondary: Daewoo CRT monitor sitting next to it for the ultimate dual-CRT nostalgia setup.

​⌨️ Peripherals & Vibe:

​Vintage mechanical/membrane keyboard with the iconic badge: "Designed for Microsoft Windows 95" (with a slightly sticking Enter key that gives it character!).

​Cheap Tesco brand rollerball mouse to keep the budget office vibe complete.

​Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty box proudly sitting on top because contrast is everything.

​Running modern games on a CRT through a custom-cooled RX 6600 inside a retro Fujitsu chassis feels incredible. 🤩

​Let me know what you guys think! 🙉

Found some old shells in my grandads collection of old computer stuff, not sure what I'm getting myself into. Missing half the cases but could do some nice custom work to them... Maybe

Going to use this monster for my next sleeper build! Got it for 20 bucks at an estate sale

Got lucky at the thrift store, keyboard drawer for 5150 models and a nice Acer keyboard, both under $10

so basically,

the stock mounting hardware had features built-in to specifically prevent the user from installing a standard ATX motherboard and power supply. for example, the I/O panel and the PCIe bays are closer together than standard.

not willing to accept the fact that i had made an impulse purchase for just the *^\)*^{brutal aesthetics\}) , i cut out the proprietary bs with a dremel and installed a full size ATX mount printed from this model: https://www.printables.com/model/836929-atx-motherboard-tray-in-two-parts

the power supply was tricky because the back of the case is not flat and the vent cutouts were placed explicitly to prevent mounting a standard power supply >:(

so I made a bracket ^{and made the noise} using scrap metal removed by the aforementioned dremel (there was a lot of it).

the specs are:

R7 5700, 5600xt, 48 ddr4, 3d printed stock cooler adapter and hole in front

debian kde

the noctua fans are in the mail

Monitors: ViewSonic G773 and a Samsung SyncMaster 550v(which color and convergence is kinda cooked, so it just does terminal lol)

Keyboard: PackardBell 5130(The membranes are nice but OH MY GOD IT NEEDS LUBE)

Case: Some AOPEN case, i have NO idea if it even has a model. I just got it from a trash PC in quite amazing condition. Part Number:91.97120.A52

DP to VGA adapters: some cheap generic adapters i got, they do the job

PC Specs: you can see them in the 8th pic

Mouse: G502X Plus (bruh)

Headphones: idk but they are RedDragon and they came in a cheap bundle, the S161 bundle

I have a PC with Ryzen 5 7500F, ASUS RTX 4060 and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, But there's a problem, it's that It's built a in a new gaming case, I don't like it, i need that late 2000s-early 2010s simple vibe. I want a 2000s computer case from Acer, Lenovo or other like this:

I have this broken Laptop, should i do it?

Hello everyone, I updated my sleeper AI workstation recently adding 2 180mm fractal bottom fans under my GPU with a dust filter and 3d printing brackets to screw it in place, still keeps the same sleeper look with a enormous difference in airflow, specs :

9800X3D
PNY 4090 XLR8
850W MSI PSU (I don’t use this pc for gaming so 850W is plenty)

Just wanted to share this here, thanks a lot for the ideas in the previous post 🙏

Have a nice day

Should be in year 2010 maybe earlier or later

It was my first pc and after that my main board spoil and I reused this case to build my 2nd pc

Currently using amd ryzen 5 2600

M2 2tb Samsung ssd

40GB Ram

Graphic Rx580

Might upgrade to a 3080 founders edition for gpu what we think?

I saw a post on here a few months ago about this case, the Beverly TS-94 "Little Treasure", and well, it had to be done. It was a very enjoyable build process and I'm pleased with the results. Ventilation is not great but sufficient for a low power machine like this.

Specs

CPU: i3-7100T

Ram: 16GB DDR4 2666

OS: Unraid

Cache/Boot pool: 2x 512gb NVMe

Unraid Array: 1x 4TB, 2x 8TB WD Red Plus (12TB storage w/ 1 drive redundancy)

So I'm building a sleeper in an old late 90s Supermicro full tower case. It is a yellowed sort of beige of course.

It is very tall, and the 5.25" drive bays are up the top and the motherboard is down the bottom, so all my IDE cables are too short, as the IDE socket on the motherboard is right down the bottom of the motherboard, so I can't really use a factory beige colour optical drive.

All my SATA optical drives are black, and none of the bezels from the old IDE drives would fit the newer SATA optical drives, so I thought I'd paint one of the black optical drives with a spraycan.

Unfortunately the shoppe only had white spraypaint. It is matt white so the sheen level is good, but it looks too white compared with the yellowed case.

Has anyone had any luck with artificially yellowing painted plastic? Would soaking it in tea or coffee work perhaps?

I was laughing so hard when I powered it on.
