Trivia

Eros is named after 433-Eros, the second largest near-Earth object.
AMD's Catalyst drivers were trouble and had to be installed manually, as they were... never digitally signed prior to release. Amazing.
The motherboard is green.
The fans in the case are mostly Noctuas, because the case was reused from a scrapped TV PC build.
