How much did it cost?

[SpyGuyB]

Wait, you said you have a pc other than this one, just use that mouse on this pc temporarily to check the specs.

plenty of room for additional pets inside

10x CD-RW, 10x DVD-RW... got tired of throwing out discs after burning them to install old machines and finding out that's not a proper/working version, and I couldn't find my existing CD-Rs... which isn't surprising as last time I bought some was maybe 20 years ago 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Meant to post in "show off your latest purchase" but since most of my purchases are about retro stuff I never know where to put them

Today via a YouTuber I found out this guy on eBay sells reproduction as well as novelty case badges?  He even does this classic styled Win9X badge but it's Windows 10.  One of my retro PCs, with the i3, also dual boots Windows 10 and I wanna put this next to the authentic Windows 98SE sticker on the case:

 

 

They also do these classic Athlon styled badges for Ryzen so I added a couple to my order:
