Originally a Dell XPS 510, it had the Ferrari Testarossa look with all the fins and the red, so I went with it. 1st I converted it to ATX, painted the MB tray, added Ferrari Decals and badge to case. Cut real carbon fiber to dress the internal chambers. Add two fan controllers to give it more of a dash look, one with LCD (4 temp sensors, including h2o temps), Bulgin power switch and toggle kill switch, front USB 3.0, THICK power cable to match the case.For the internals, I water-cooled the CPU, an Intel i7, the GPU, an RX560 (I have a GTX1060 too, Im just to lazy to break open the loop again) and Intel Optane 900p. 3/8 tubing in black, a 120mm radiator (copper) with ducting in front, a 80mm radiator (dual copper),12v pump and tube reservior. Its powered by a 1000w Corsair PSU with all devices custom wired (except mb) and I used corrugated tubing to give it that engine bay electrical look. 16GB memory, DVD Rom to resemble a stereo from that time frame.

Pretty sweet. The usb "key with keychain in the ignition" is a nice touch. I've always enjoyed well repurposed/re-imagined oem gear.
