Same as Last Month.
We'll take submissions from now until Novemeber 23rd, after which new submissions will not be accepted, and should be submitted to the following month instead. Voting will then take place from the 23rd until the 30th, and the winner will earn the right for the badge, runner up his.
While I can not enforce this, once voting commences, I request that zero-post accounts not vote, it destroys the honor of this competition, and nobody wants to win with dishonor. right?
Previous Winners may compete, only in the even of a major revision of their PC, major revisions include anything from a new cooler, new case, new lighting, or a huge case of re-wiring. GPU's I'm not sure about, as they are all about the same, but a new GPU with a new cooler, I think can apply.
Now post those pictures!
Best of luck.

Here's my K6-II "OSGR" (Old School Gaming Rig)
Notice the ancient ATX PSU which you could run a monitor from. Everything fits inside a custom beige mini-tower. I cut out the front speaker grill to accept an 80mm fancy blue LED fan. Compared to the previous setup I had inside (Pentium MMX with SLI), it's much more powerful and quieter. Thermaltake aftermarket CPU cooler finishes out this old setup. Yes, it's old, it's cramped and lots of ribbon cables, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. Special thanks to Geezer_Wheelz and his parts!
I guess some specs are in order:
AMD K6-II 3D at 450MHz (2.40 vCore)
ATI Rage 128 Pro AGP (16MB)
512MB PC100 DRAM (CAS2) Board only supports 384MB but it boots up and detects it!
Creative Ensoniq PCI 128
Altec Lansing 4.1
4GB Maxtor 4,800 IDE ATA 100 (It works, that's all that matters)
Windows ME with all the latest updates and drivers (talk about trying to find drivers these days!)
A bunch of old-school games like NFS:III, Unreal, Metal Gear: Solid, Tiberium Sun, NHL '99 and more!
Ultra PC Racer II analog controller

I am sorry about the size of my pics, due to a lack of HTML skills I am at a loss as to how to resize. The best I can do I suppose is to ask the modds to deleat my post and I will repost with links instead.
Would this be a better solution?
Ok never mind I think I fixed it, are the pics better for every one now?
Its all in where you do the edit I guess.

Nice! Both in the irony and execution of the cases. Simple, yet purposeful with a bit of flair tossed in.
