Storage unit auction winner finds retro Pentium 4 PC with a see-through, UV-reactive PSU — Y2K time capsule discovered among 100 laptops and hundreds of RAM sticks

Apevia X-SuperAlien PC build with transparent Apevia power supply.

PC cases today largely focus on subdued, minimal designs in order to appeal to as many people as possible. Compare that to the towers you could find back in the old days, and you'd think no one in these corporate boardrooms has any personality. Such was the reminder that Reddit user u/Witty-Composer-6445 got when they found an old PC build with a bold aesthetic and a PSU to match its uniqueness.

"I found it in a storage unit auction that I won which I initially thought only had like 35 laptops and some junk," the lucky scavenger told Tom's Hardware. "Unfortunately/fortunately for me, it actually had somewhere around 100 laptops, 20 desktop PCs, hundreds of RAM sticks, hard drives, various pc components, and THOUSANDS of random CDs, along with the “Alienware” pc which is actually not Alienware but Aspire instead."
