Not mine, but I always have people asking where I got mine when I post pictures of my retro pc's. Saw this one pop up on Ebay the other day..

Who's ordering? I'm hoping for a beige/grey model.
Not mine, and an excessive price with local pickup. I'm guessing a best offer is what he's looking for. There's some epic stuff there..

Short rant -- I just went to Microcenter to pick up a motherboard and CPU combo for a Z270 ITX build I'm doing. I had a gift card to burn, so I figured I'd go spend it. I picked out an i7 7700K + Asus ROG STRIX Z270I.. along with some RAM and a M.2 NVMe drive. I get up to the register and I'm...
