Hello all!
I hope everyone is having a great start to 2016. It's been a while since I've posted here as some life priorities have shifted a bit (read, BABY!). With our new arrival last October I've had much less time to devote to my retro obsession, and ... well... much less time (and sleep) in general. 😵
That being said... Late last year, I stumbled across a local posting for someone who was selling a bunch of computer cases for really cheap. I snagged 5 of them:
2 x Black Ultra X-Blaster Mid-Tower cases (one of which is new, old stock)
1 x Black Antec SLK1650B Mid-Tower (new, old stock)
1 x Black Aopen H340A Micro-ATX desktop slimline case (new, old stock)
1 x Black generic mid-tower case with side-window
Anyone sensing a theme here? That's right - BLACK! All of these cases have a very late 90s/early-to-mid 2000s feel to them, and I've decided my next series of builds will be part of my "Black" series and these will again use time period-specific - mostly in 1999-2006 time-frame. One of them is nearly complete, and I just need to take some pictures and run some benchies for you guys. For now I'll plan on one build per month (as time allows), but you can expect the builds and documentation to be of the same caliber as my previous "Build of the Week" entries.
Stay thirsty my friends!
