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 unique since my mainboard is bent by my AIO cooler. I built my PC in the Ncase M1 but picked the "wrong" AIO cooler (Corsair H100i V2). The tubes are quite stiff and tight bending was necessary fit them inside the case. Now my mainboard is bent so much that I can't use two USB-ports at the back since they don't line up with the holes in the IO shield anymore. However I built it in 2016 and it has survived moving so I won't change it until I build a new PC in a few years.
