Old Greybeard

Build Description
This was a PC built in 2016 using parts mostly components shopped from my local Micro Center. Old Greybeard still does the job after all these years. I mostly use the PC for entertainment and games of yore from GOG.com.
Favorite Feature
My favorite parts about this PC are a.) it still runs and b.) it is energy efficient (for its time). When planning out Ole' Greybeard, I made sure to pick components that didn't have high power draw. I think in the long run, it's saved a lot of money and reduced the overall environmental energy burden. I also like that it's a modest simply built PC. I was able to bring Ole' Greybeard to several PC building classes to use an example. Students took the PC apart and built it back up multiple times--and it still works!
