I put them on my old CF card reader from way back when digital cameras still used CF cards. It lived in my camera bag and after a few trips around the world, the badges are all pretty much unreadable. Too bad, I have good memories of my old Abit motherboard. Always think of it when I see the card reader.

Does anyone else do this?
 
I've had this case for almost a decade and I love it! It's been home to at least 5 builds and many generation upgrades over the years, and the various badges I've accumulated over the years are still being added to. 😊
 
As an update: The DVD drive is not there bar the front cover. The reason for its inclusion, though? Well, I'm sentimental and the first PC I ever bought new, in 2008, had a LightScribe drive, which since died and I chose to mod it into my build. ❤️

A couple of my older retro iMacs: The G3 was bought about 6 months ago for a shade under £100 and the eMac is actually a one owner, boxed example which I got for £125 (including shipping) with a bunch of useful software too. I use both of these machines rather often and the screen on the eMac is seriously amazing and has a max refresh of 139Hz at 800x600 and the lowest is 72Hz. I have a lot of other retro tech as well, I'll try and post some more here in time, and even have a Socket A machine which is used almost daily for games and the like. 😁
 
As a side-note: The eMac weighs over 20KG/roughly 50 lbs, and it has caught me out more than a few times. It's definitely a chunky little machine.

Used the Chalnziye HY 510 in the end.  We'll see how it performs.  Also decided to use the heatsink that came with it, as on closer inspection, it's already been modified to fit.  Spacing and a little bit out of the top post to allow for RAM has been done.  I was under the impression it was just a stock V3 2000 cooler on it.  So it also looks like I'll just be able to screw in the 40mm fan from the other cooler.  Happy days.

 
Got the heatsink and the die cleaned up really nice

 
Also, in other news I have my two custom IDE ribbons as well as the custom Floppy cable done and installed.  It looks a little messy and i may re-do the HDD one as it's a little short.  but it saves so much space as compared to the stock Ribbon cables i was using

Very true! I must admit that even though it was not the best, I had some awesome times on that old PC. It's one of those CPUs that I remember being awful but... well, it got me into building and collecting. 😀

I'm currently watching a video on LTT about the worst CPU ever and I had to post this. It's an AMD Phenom 9500 and I did indeed daily this thing in a budget HP PC from 2008 to 2013 where I managed to build my own PC with an i5 3470 which, compared to this is a rocket-ship! So yeah, played WoW on this, raided and had to look at the ground to get 9 FPS on Elegon and listen out for his audio because I couldn't look up. I'm now a much more accomplished builder and have various PC's under my belt (both sold and personal) and this is what started it all. Rocky start is something of an understatement! :D

Hey, we all had to start somewhere!! 😉
