I enjoy seeing these super clean and neat cases. Mine will never be one of them. This might even be the last PC I build, though my next build would correspond to the 20th anniversary of my first ever PC build so I may go ahead and do something commemorative then. :awe:

That reminds me... one of my old high school teachers was listening to Green Day before class, and when a student asked who that band was, upon receiving the reply, said "oh, my dad listens to them."

If I we still have PCI slots in 2015 (the next build year), I will probably add my very first Matrox Millennium card to the build -- just because!

I believe that other than a floppy drive and an NEC 4x4 CD-ROM, that graphic card is all that remains from that original build. I kept it around because in the AGP days, it was always good to have a PCI graphics card around to help with troubleshooting.

Actually, now that I think about it, I believe I did pull the RAM as well. I "recycled" my first build only a few months ago and I kept the RAM because I thought it might work in some of the Amiga components I might acquire.

With the big patio project out of the way and once the holidays are done, I think I may get some more Amiga hardware to play with.

My father shut off the outside faucets and stashed the hoses.

I want to wash my car today, despite the 45 F temperature. Probably the last full wash of the year.

The washing of the microfiber cloths did nothing, they're all still dirty, and the three foam applicators soaked for a week, so they are likely ruined.
