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

    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.

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

    Needs more stickers peeling off.

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

    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

    Kinda glad to see this, I’d love to get a beige keyboard and tower, I mean the black looks cool, sleek, and futuristic, but… I just want someone with more style and class.

    For the record I’m talking about computers, not people, I just realized how racist that sounds out of context.

      Then just say “something” not “someone” if you’re talking about things and not people. There’s no need to create unnecessary problems.

      It only got racist after you just had to mention that you where talking about computers, not people.

      Unless you normally talk about the huge beige towers of other guys.

        Your attempts at using homophobia as an insult were ruined by your failure to look at the word “Queen” in my username.

        Either I’m a woman, or I’m a gay man, meaning I’m probably into beige towers of guys and your joke has failed.

        Btw, I’m a woman.

          Your attempts at using homophobia

          Stop, we are not doing this. If that’s where you mind goes on the first thought, that’s on you.

          Either I’m a woman, or I’m a gay man, meaning I’m probably into beige towers of guys and your joke has failed.

          The joke stays the same, some might find it funny others might not. It’s generally not very proper to talk about dicks in a general conversation, no matter how much you like them or not.

          Btw, I’m a woman.

          Congratulations, I don’t know why you had to bring that up, but I’m very happy for you.

      I think black irritates me less.

      That said, I’d really like to have a fat-fat beige (maybe darker beige) laptop with a sensible keyboard (not one that can be heard from across the street, but one that still feels like one), which you can disassemble without even unscrewing anything (maybe a couple of bolts you don’t need a screwdriver for), with enough space inside to put anything, and with a bloody antenna port and a transceiver.

      It also should survive falling from my table a few times a month. And have water protection good enough for it to be normally usable at countryside during rain. Being outside.

      Should have an AMOLED display or something like that.

      A trackball.

      And, of course, it should cost not more than MacBook Air.

      The beige color here would help one really feel that this machine fucks.

      I’m joking really (not in the part where I say I want that).

    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.

          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

        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.

        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.
