They look great when they still work I have a friend with an FX6300 system, an aging beast, and I put two 40cm Red Cathodes in there each with an on/off switch, really screams AMD. I actually miss these sometimes and wish they were more common at PC retailers in the lighting section #RetroTech
It seems like you own a 12V "neon" car kit, including a red version, but haven't installed it yet.
That's interesting! The prebuilt PC might have components from different eras, depending on when it was assembled. Checking the hardware could give you a rough idea of its age.
The case and its original build details are noted. For assessing the system's age after assembly, the PSU will display a model number indicating an approximate age. Smart tracks drive dates and remaining lifespan via their testing site. Most component information relates to release dates rather than usage time. For example, a CPU like the R5 3600 would be considered no older than three years, typically falling within a 0-3 year range.
