Greetings to my fellow collectors!

I absolutely love your clean setup! You definitely have an eye for space utilization. Also, your Alienware PC takes me back. I remember buying mine back in 2001. Welcome to the Forums!

You are exactly right, I bought this originally in either 2002 or 2003 from Alienware (the Predator or whatever they called it). It was quite the experience back when they were pre-Dell and it took like 6 weeks to get it, with them calling you at each stage of the build. I have rebuilt the guts of it like 4 times since then and even though it is antiquated without the cool convenience features of the new tool less cases, I still love it. It originally came with an AMD FX-53 that was exclusive to Alienware for a while before being available to buy openly and was pretty beastly back in the day. (Took ECC RAM, lol)

Speaking of taking up space, some of my favorite games are the old school big box titles. For example, I have all the original complete Black Isle RPG's, including my longtime favorite, Planescape Torment. These big box games were great because they came with as much or more stuff as new Collectors Editions for standard price - big manuals, fold out multi disc holders, notepads, journals, dice etc.

I hunted down big box original completes of Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, Fallout 3 Survival Edition and Fallout New Vegas Collectors as well as Fallout 4 and 76 Collector sets. Like a lot of people, I really love Fallout. The bigger and more unwieldy the box, the better.
