I took pictures during almost every step. I didn't take pictures of any old gear I took for my new computer. There are a lot of pictures, and I can't see how this would be entertaining to anyone other than Aaron and myself. But here you go..

Aaron's computer has the same specs, but he has a different case and no pretty lights. Next we'll break down our old PCs to build the boys a computer, and after that we'll take the extra parts left over to build some computers for a charity down town. Talk about some recycling..
