My apologies for not providing more than 1 picture.

 

Here are pictures, along with a short story:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

My PC and I had humble beginnings. It was nothing but an H80, a HAF 932 Advanced case, and a GTX 680. Those were simple times...

We went through a few changes together. We figured if we wanted to be taken seriously by overclockers, it'd take more than a few LED fans and a red cold cathode to impress all the ladies. We needed more.

 

So we upgraded from the H80 to 3 Alphacool radiators and modded the case. Now we could post in overclockers.com and not be called noobs for not having a legit water cooled system.

We had some ups and some downs, even went through the equivalent of a crazy college experimental phase with some serious UV cathodes...

But it eventually came down to changing it to what I wanted.

This is my gaming PC, and we've gone through changes together. We've overclocked, burned components, and learned a lot from eachother.

 

Even though it's an inanimate object, I treasure my PC. It is an investment that entertains me, teaches me, and helps me pass the time when I am bored.

 

So for those of you who say the era of the desktop is coming to an end...

...I don't believe you truly understand how amazing a custom gaming PC can really be, and for that, I pity you.

Nice cable management!

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.
