This is my red and blue themed PC.

Over time it's turned from an ugly thing into a beautiful thing.

It's taken almost a year to go from a shitty PC in an OEM Dell case to the final iteration.

The one I've got is the dark wooden one from before but with fiberboard screwed on top. It works and if I put a tablecloth on it it looks nicer.

How in the hell did you get an E3 1240 for $50 by the way? Even a v3 here is still £150 (used!)

Do it! Very good processor. My old one was an i5 3330 that I replaced with the Xeon, didn't have any pics of that build so didn't post about it.
