My humble cranky old man anti-RGB build, tucked into my not ideal-but-it's-what-I've-got nerd corner.

MSI X670E Carbon, 7800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB of RAM, Corsair RM1200x Shift, Scythe Fuma 3, Fractal Design Define R6, Edifier S2000 MKIII, Emotiva SE8 Flex.




 
Swapped my 8GB 3070 for a 16GB Arc A770 a few weeks ago, changed out my Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 with a white Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 ARGB (pretty well-rated and just $54!) and replaced my bottom-mount blue-lit Corsair 120mm fans with white Thermalright ARGB fans ($14 for a 3-pack!) yesterday, and doubled my RAM to 64GB with another 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws V kit today (pictures were taken last night before the RAM came in):

Not mine, but was amused by the new Ars article. Retro case aesthetics.

Return of the Turbo button: SilverStone is making another ’80s-style beige PC case

FLP02 has a throwback facade but can fit a thoroughly modern PC inside.

I've occasionally flirted with the idea of doing a retro case build a couple of times for a secondary rig (I have no room for such things though). I look forward to seeing some fun builds with stuff like this though :D
 
Decided to upgrade (had a 5800x3d) and try an AIO for the first time (usually use dual tower coolers). Honestly it's kinda nice, albeit i do hear the pump if the pc is just idle if it's set higher than 55% (it's set on idle to be 30% and ingame 65%, cant hear it over fans).
MSI b850 gaming white
9800x3d
Tcreate 32gb CL30 6000
Arctic Freezer iii 360 Pro white
H7 Flow RGB white case
MSI RTX 5080 (i took backplate off and put the fan on the exposed gpu heatsink, load temps dropped by around 5c)
A few samsung NVMEs (2tb1/1tb)
Noctua fans on exhaust, be quiet fans on intake and under gpu (80mm ones, also drop gpu temp on load).
Overall super quiet and performs extremely well, low 1%s and overall smoothness has gone up noticeably over 5800x3d.
