My period correct Windows XP retro PC

It’s still using the modular Antec PSU I purchased in 2009. This thing doesn’t see much use but I’ll fire it up once in a while to play old games like Call of Duty 2 or Doom 3. It has an activated copy of MS Office 2003 on it too.

My Gaming and WFH Desk Area

My buddy calls this an “organized chaos” since I have a bunch of stuff to make it feel “at home” for me. Work keyboard and mouse are in a slide-out tray connected to a hidden work laptop under the desk.

White/Purple Build

Not a new build but I swapped cases recently. I’ve always liked using MSI components going back to the mid-2000s when I brought a motherboard/CPU combo for a build then. I just wished MSI released a white 5090 and it would be perfect for this build.

Specs:

Case: Fractal Pop 2 Vision White RGB
Rear fan: Thermalright TL-K12W 120mm
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285
AIO Cooler: PCCOOLER DC360 Pro ARGB
Motherboard: MSI Pro Z890-S WiFi White
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GBx2 6400MHz CL32
Storage: 10TB combined between 3 NVMe’s
GPU: MSI Vanguard SOC RTX 5090
PSU: Montech Century II 1200W
Cables: CableMod Pro ModFlex 12V-2x6 in black and silver, White and purple mesh PSU cable extensions

Case Swap to Pop 2 Vision

I swapped cases for my main PC and really like this. It is an impressive case for the price point and thermals are even better than other “fishtank” style cases that costs more. I like the clean look of the solid plain interior panels. Ton of room in the rear chamber for cable management. I have the case fans and AIO fans wired up to the built-in case ARGB controller.

Cable management on a home media server mATX case

The extra slack and unused cables are neatly bundled and tuck away in the bottom compartment.

Selling this PSU out of one of my builds that's being parted out. PSU was purchased and used in the year 2025. All but one (SATA power) modular cable are unused/brand new. I used Corsair's premium individual sleeved cable kit when this PSU was installed hence leaving everything else unused in the box. Only thing not included are the original zip ties since those were used in the PC case. 4x silver mounting screws are included.

Due to recent circumstances I have to part ways with one of my PC builds. This is a full bundle (CPU, RAM, Motherboard) and will not sell separately.

  • Intel Core i7-14700K
  • MSI B760 Gaming Plus WiFi
  • TeamGroup T-FORCE DELTA RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 - White
  • Thermalright LGA1700 Contact Frame

The motherboard has always been on the latest BIOS with the microcode fix. The CPU was never ran on any old BIOS. The CPU has always been installed with a contact frame. As pictured, it is installed with the Thermalright black LGA1700 contact frame.

I have all of the original packaging/accessories and manuals for everything. The original CPU mounting frame and plastic socket cover are included too. The only thing not included is the Intel Core blue sticker since that was applied to my case.

Asking Price: $520 OBO

Buyer pays shipping if it is shipped.

Local to 08857.
