    Hello this is my recent build and I want it to share this to the community
    Im biglou from the Philippines
    Here is the case I used
    A cooler master Cosmos S donated by my friends less than a decade ago
    This was pre modded before, rust, dust and corrosion accumulated through the years due to improper storage.
