A Blast From the Past

Build Description
Welcome to a relic of a time gone past, but a faithful computational rig that supported gaming in my downtime.
This system was used heavily going through gradschool in a STEM field, supporting simulations, computations, data processing, modeling and more. All the while, supporting gaming in what little down time there was.
Biggest love of this system was the accessible top rack IO and large, quiet fans.
Biggest regret, a non-modular power supply and not the best case support for cable management mad that aspect of this build a headache.
