Victoria then. She really does look so different now.

I cheated and asked a friend (btw, he's british).
He think it's her but he's not 100% sure (I believe so after looking at pics), the name of the band is "something that lasts a lot". Her name has some "chili" in it.
If it is correct I'll tell when requested, I don't want to spoil the hunt.

TBH I would have never found her, I never heard of her.

Based on what you said about the band, I think you are correct. I am not sure on the chilli reference though.

In the FHM magazine 100 s*xiest women she was in the list for something like 10 years. Dont think she ever won it though

Ok, colour of chili.
It wasn't me spotting her though, this is very brit stuff I guess 😀

Yep! I wasn't expecting a non-brit to know TBH.

Yes. That's her. I thought she was stunning, but everyone has different opinions on what they find attractive, and that's fine.

As a married man, I'd never put a wallpaper like that on my desktop now. But when I was a single male in my teens and early 20s I certainly did! Posters too!

How do I open the front panel of this computer case? I've tried for quite a while but haven't been able to.

If remember correct it has some screws at the top (after you remove the top cover) that holds the front cover

I found a picture of my box from 2009-2012. It was a Intel Desktop board with 945 chipset and Pentium D 925 4x1024M DDR2-800 and it had 8600GT when I assembled it, but died and replaced with 630 or 730, can't recall. This was a awesome box and even though the guts were hangin' out all over, I STILL carried this heavy b*^ch all across town.

Well, it wasn't really retro at the time, but it sure is now. I'd like a evil-looking PC like that again. Such a vibe.

An extra, external power supply? And is that a HDD stack with a side mounted fan? That's pretty bad-ass 😁

If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀

I would also like to know more. Are the two PSUs used at the same time? Why are the HDDs mounted externally?

Looks very cyberpunk 😎
I have a Pentium II test machine built with all the crappiest components that still produced a stable system and that is also just the chassis, but it doesn't have anything mounted externally, so definitely doesn't look as cool as yours 😅 Never considered this system worth photographing, but you inspired me, so here it is in all it's lack of glory:
