First PC build in 15 years (build log)

As a quick introduction, I grew up tripping over 386-486-pentium computers, because my parents were happy to brag that their son was really into computers and their friends always seemed to have some old computer in the basement that they wanted to get rid of after having upgraded, but didn't think …
