You can fit lots of modern hardware inside—and prop your monitor on top.
FINALLY! A return to sensible PC design!
…I’m going to put a raspberry pi inside.
It’s really too bad they couldn’t have made the bay covers either plain or actually look like a floppy drive.
So close, and yet, so far.
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.
Everything is removable with the right tools
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.
I think big was 17 inches, but they were like 24 deep and 50lbs.
I bet USB c connections could fit in a floppy drive slot
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.
I can sell you one with real floppy drives!
Yeah there was a lot of really nice design going on at the time. This looks like the discount cases from the early 90s clones.
Does it really have plexi/glass side/top? Why on Earth?
Why not?
It’s ugly AF and totally breaks the concept. At least that’s what I think about it.
I’d much prefer to have beige painted steel and some rail mounts on the side. Would totally swap one of my servers into that chassis.
AAAHHH
I NEEEEED IITTT
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
NGL, that is pretty damn cool. I love desktop layouts like that too :)
finally, an NEC PC-108
With this design you have a few fans closer to your ears. That will also sound retro. Not 100 percent convinced.
Just keep in mind the longer you have one the yellower it gets
I would totally use a retro style beige case for my next build…
I just recently adopted an old gateway PC with this intent in mind. I’m excited about it.
I always wanted a beige tower big enough to need wheels.
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 something 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.
Never would have thought about racism, honestly :D
But such a care is something to admire
Then just say “something” not “someone” if you’re talking about things and not people. There’s no need to create unnecessary problems.
ah sorry that was a typo
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).
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.
I shouldn’t want that and yet I do.
