I still remember having to flip down the latch on the 5.25 drive as a kid trying to play some sesame street game.

Nope, still hate it.

To each his own I guess. Personally I love the retro look

I kinda prefer 2010s cases before they all just turned into squares

Yeah, it’s ugly.

I would hate that case.

Well that is hilarious. The fake 5.25 floppy drive bay covers are an especially nice touch.
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Agreed. Also like the key switch. I think it’d look great decked out with some brown Noctua fans too
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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. It 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.
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

You could swap one screw from that case into your current one. It wouldn’t be obvious to anyone else, but you’d know it was there!
