The Beast

Here is the first computer I built:

                   
These 3 pictures were taken before I had added the cd burner which was then on the Dell computer.

                   
These three were taken after I installed the cd burner. The third picture is of the huge Voodoo video card.

         
Here are a couple pictures of 'The Beast' after I painted the cover of the cd burner.
