You can fit lots of modern hardware inside—and prop your monitor on top.

    Meanwhile I’ve got a ryzen 7800/radeon 6800 system housed in a full sized beige tower that I’ve had since like 1998.

    Needs more stickers peeling off.

    Has it got a turbo button that just switches a light on?

    It’s a little too tongue in cheek with the faux disk Bays. I’d rather see something that takes the 80s asthetic but modernizes it a bit. Still a roomy easy to work on case that pays homage to the esthetic rather than kind of mocks it.

      If they’re removable, could just put actual floppy drives in.

      EDIT: Oh, they’re flip-down drawer covers rather than fixed panels. Well, still might be removable.

        A drawer option would’ve been sweet. I love my 5.25" drawer. Perfect for flash drives, dongles, extra screws, little screwdriver, or a hiding spot almost nobody would know is there.

          All I have is a hammer. I was told in the early 90s that it’s Hammer time. I was never told of a ceasing of it being Hammer time.

            No no no, it is in fact still hammer time, but there are 26 main types of hammer and countless subtypes

        I mean even if you could remove them, the problem is that beige is not always the same beige: same problem you had 30 years ago.

        The colors would never, at any point, remotely match the rest of the beige, and it’d be nice if a premium product that exists only for the aesthetics, would have just you know, done that last itty bitty little thing so it’d look right (from at least a distance) and be color matched.

          Honestly the mismatching beiges just make it even more period correct. At least from how I remember them

            Right??? Also you need a 13 inch monogrome green screen. Like the original game boy…except giant.

            …what? 13 inches WAS giant back then.

    The “and prop your monitor on top” thing: I kinda wish there were more modern PC cases that could stand being horizontal. Most are designed to be towers.

    It’s just not quite yellow enough, esp. on 1 side where’s it’s been too close to a window… otherwise, yeah, bring back beige

      I’m going to guess that an old mid or full size tower could fit a modern GPU. With a bit of dremelling on the back you cold probably make it work. My son has been mulling such a mod.

    With this design you have a few fans closer to your ears. That will also sound retro. Not 100 percent convinced.

    I’d love to see something like this in a tower format, and with regular 5.25" bays with faceplates rather than these faux floppy drives.

    I’d pay a somewhat unreasonable amount for that.

      I hope the fake floppy drives are just covers for external 3.5" bays. Maybe something hotswapable even

        Something like a 5 ¼" archival SSD would be really cool. Just a solid storage chonk, that you can forget in a drawer.

        Pipedream, I know.

          SSDs are not suitable for long term storage. Modern consumer grade SSDs are only rated for 1 year of data retention without power. Only SLC flash is suitable for long term storage, but those are very expensive and low capacity.
