  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. 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.

    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!
