Show us one of your Windows XP machines!

Remember way back to Windows XP?  It was a pretty good operating system and the games you could play with that OS probably number in the thousands.  So, why don't you look back in your archives and show us one of your computer builds that ran Windows XP?  Maybe there won't be much in the way of RGB, but cold cathode tubes were all the rage back then.

Here is my 'Globe of Retribution' build from 2006, after I changed from a blue globe to the red one.  I thought this was such a cool build.

Just thinking back to the windows XP days this build gives me a "space heater" vibes in the best way. Looks interesting even by today's standards and the Lazer etched cat definitely gives it some points for uniqueness.

It's like Solaire but I'm a Bro

If I remember correctly, it could have used additional cooling.  One time I clipped an external 8" fan to the open side for additional cooling on a hot day.

I'm hoping to see some more Windows XP machines here.  We know they are out there.....

Are there any more Windows XP machines still running out there?  I thought that some people would keep one operational for the occasional game that wouldn't run unless it was on an older OS.
