I love photos like these XD

No power supply. The hdds aren't plugged into anything, with the IDE cables just sitting in the bottom of the case. The random mess of cables in the back is only half plugged in and leads to nothing but the folding table the whole setup is jankily sitting on. It's even got ps2 connectors just because #old pc.

Then there's the lady kissing the case, because that's a thing we definitely do? And the knife...? Wtf.

What would you even use this image for?

Just halfway done murdering it already, that's all.
