  The late 90s to early 2000s PCs I remember were that god awful beige color that I absolutely hated. It was fucking horrible.

  Like in my mind, I associate that particular color of beige to dinosaur tech that’s not worth having around.

    Only cheap machines were still beige by the early 2000s. Dell, for instance, switched to their dark gray clamshell around 2001.

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

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

    Pretty sure it would just he copper color. Lots of this overlapping layers (6-8) in MB.

      A sheet of shiny copper is also pretty cool.

      MB manufacturers are leaving money on the table. They can pair it with a transparent GPU and sell it as a combo.

      $$$
