18. I used to build my own PCs about 25 years ago as a "side hobby"

including running some "case-less" (just a motherboard, power supply/fans, CPU(s), RAM, disk and/or harddrive, video card) and some were even "headless" (without a video card and/or monitor and I would telnet in to manage it - I have a little Raspberry Pi guy like that right now running my weather station's internal data display web server). The Pi looks like this (put together from a kit) -



I was a member of a SETI@Home team so I had a good little SETI "farm" going, at one point running 10 "machines" (in a case or case-less) of different platforms (including a SparcStation, Alpha Workstation, and a dual-Xeon server, running multiple OSs (including Linux & NetBSD). Was even overclocking a couple of the CPUs (had the thermal paste and fans and stuff for that).

I know during that time, the RAM prices were always fluctuating, with those prices you are quoting approaching that for "X" number of MB of RAM vs GB of RAM ( "GB" was a fantasy ).

There was also a lot of fuss about "Moore's Law" then - where the-then CPU platforms were eventually expected to be "running out of room" for any more transistors... yet here we are today!
