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.
Dude, tell me this case doesn’t look sick af

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

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

Yeah, it's ugly.

I’d love a transparent AM5 motherboard.
Pretty sure it would just be copper color. Lots of overlapping layers (6-8) in a MB.

A sheet of shiny copper is also pretty cool.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

You'll get transparent devices in thereBut they won't be as colourful and fun, which sucks.
