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?

Mine has a drive A. This is... atypical for Socket AM5 builds. It's an IDE LS-120 on a SATA adapter.

It also has a small OLED screen designed as a modern riff on the MHz LED panel of 90s cases. It's fully programmable over USB so it can track as the clocks go up and down, or display a bunch of other crud.

My other machine is 8088-class and has major kit-built and home-built parts.
