Hi all,

So when I was transferring some old junk from my old HDDs to a new NVMe system, I stumbled across this image of a setup I apparently had back around 03/2006 (thx metadata). Even though I recall messing around with the UV cathode tubes and fluorescent paint, for the life of me I cannot remember what this system was, can anyone help identify what you see? Mobo, GPU? What is also puzzling is also the bottom PCI card...

Needless to say I would LOVE to recreate this....

The attachment P1290038.jpg is no longer available

Damn, beat me to it.
The board / system is a bit older indeed.

Cooler is an Arctic Super Silent 4 Ultra TC?
Looks like the PCI card has a TV tuner.
