Discussion: What makes your build unique? (self.pcmasterrace)

One quirky detail of my build: it has a tiered storage system through FuzeDrive. What that means is I have an 8 TB shucked hard drive and a 128 GB SSD "fuzed" together through some old software by Enmotus that is no longer available for purchase iirc. This means the SSD acts as a cache for my huge 8 TB drive. As a result, I can just install basically any game I want to my massive 8 TB drive without worrying about space, and if I play that game more than once or twice, it'll automatically move to the SSD portion for faster access.

Some ideas:

Is this using used hardware that has a story?
Got an unusual configuration that isn't normally seen (Dual RTX 3070 for example)
Did you paint it or add special lighting?

My build is special because I use a very old server case that I have remodeled the interior of and is so ugly i hide it behind my monitors.

It does the job. No LEDs, no bling. It seems to be the exception.

I want to see. Old cases seem to dance on the kine between awesome and frustratingly unusable.

I spent today composing some spares in a ~2006 Lian Li PC-V1000 and it's a surprisingly irksome experience when you have no 2.5" bays or adaptors or the weird hard disc mount screws it used...
