Congrats, friend, those are some sexy builds. Although you might consider using some zipties to make the cable management a bit neater, not so much for aesthetics but to make airflow better. Old parts tend to overheat and die, and old cases aren't really the best for airflow.

Compaq Deskpro 2000/P2 300MHz/384Mb SDRAM/ESS ES1868F/Aureal Vortex 2
Asus A7N8X-VM400/AMD Athlon XP 2ooo+/512Mb DDR DRAM/GeForce 4 MX440/Creative Audigy 2
Asus P5Q Pro/Core2 Quad Q9400/2Gb DDR2/GeForce 8800GT/Creative X-Fi

Hi and thank you of your comment. I think that i should do that and ziptie some of those cables to look more cleaner. 😀
