So much going on in this photo, but my favorite part is the light bulb in the disassembled power supply (lemmy.world)

That light bulb is a vaccum tube that gives that special crispy sound for the cpu fan. Many people will say that they can't tell the difference, but it is very obvious for the trained ears of a seasoned audiophile.

For those pointing out that it is not connected I want to remind you that this is not 90s and we now have WiFi.
