Looks great, Carl! I love that you built it out of parts that you just had laying around. Though, I wish you would have had an AMD CPU laying around!
Really clean setup too, which is so nice. I love seeing comps that have good cable management.

Sticking Alf there just warms my heart. Haven't seen him in a long time. lol

Yeah its one of the few toys I still have from childhood. I loved that show. Yeah I have gotten a mixture of Intel and AMD cpus throughout the house. Also have a el cheapo HTPC with an Athlon II X2. Nothing pretty but maybe will put it up here too. It was pretty cheap to make and works great with kodi etc. I even have been holding on to so medium old stuff like a few Athlon and Sempron single core. I feel like I'm on of those youtube guys build things but with the income for a few gens back. Older stuff still interests me. Love pitting the old athlons against Pentium 4's and watch the AMDs rock it.

Great Build Carl!   I too was a huge fan of ALF and up until 2 years ago still had one of the big plush ALF's in my collection!   I like that open design of the R9 280

That gold shroud on the GPU looks pretty impressive.
Not seen anything like that one before.
