Very well done!

I haven't had the time or money in the last 10 or so years to build another one. My present PC is over 3 years old. I just don't have the drive any longer when my phone is just as fast.

thats how i feel. my days of OC and tweaking pc's are done.  i have one thats main purpose now is the home server. and the recent acquisition of the nexus tablet was the final nail in the coffin for my laptop.

My laptop still does duty as my bedside TV. I screw around with the gaming box from time to time but I still have a whole other rig I haven't unpacked since the move 3 years ago.

The nexus and the S3 get the most use now.

Same. My gaming rig is easily 3+ years old and aside from the occasional vid card upgrade or new HD, i just can't justify building a new one, even though I could do it for under $500.

There was a guy who'd wheel in his box into a local LAN event, and was finally more or less banned because when he fired it up, it'd blow breakers in the hall & take down 15-20 other people on that line. I think he had dual 1500W PSUs in it, iirc. I'll try to find a pic, the thing was the size of a damned college dorm fridge.

This wasn't the last one of his I saw, that had triple vid cards and was just obscene, but this was about the same size.

I think it says, "CRAY," on the side.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
