      Well that is hilarious. The fake 5.25 floppy drive bay covers are an especially nice touch.

        Agreed. Also like the key switch. I think it’d look great decked out with some brown Noctua fans too

          Oh man, Noctua fans fit perfectly with this ironic high performance/vintage garbage dynamic! Good call.

        I still keep my actual ancient 5.25" floppy drive from my first 286 DOS box installed in a spare bay in my current PC tower. The drive hasn’t worked in ages, but as a chunk of my first PC is still part of my current one it means that, in a Ship of Theseus sense, I’ve been using the same computer for 30 years.

          I love that. I still have the very first computer I ever bought, a Power Mac G4 I keep saying that some day I’ll modify the case to house my current PC.
