Donated my beige beast to my second workplace few years back. Still chugs along, currently housing a simple Haswell-based server for accounting.
If it's not broke don't fix it.
K.i.s.s.
Keep it simple stupid.
Not everyone plays games from steam UPlay or the many others. I have several CD based games I play daily because I can.
And honestly I prefer this kind of case over modern stuff with RGB and useless windows and only room for like two drives. This thing is way more flexible. If I were in the market for a new case I'd take something like this any day of the week over most other cases. Depending a bit on the cost of course. How much is it?
yeah, the thin steel
It would ideally be something standardised by the USB-IF, Intel, or AMD to be a generic rectangular cutout big enough for half a dozen <insert current connectivity standard> ports. Yeah, we can make old cases work fine by routing the new-fangled ports to expansion slots at the back, but that's not as convenient.
We need 3.5" bay fascias at the front of a PC without the bulk of the legacy drive cages behind them - just so that we don't have to throw out a perfectly good case once all its front panel ports are obsolete.
In Ending I like this case and will keep that in mind when it comes out.
The case market was getting to the point it looked like you might as
well just call it an Atari and not a PC. With this, at least in the custom
market, you have this thing called flexibility. All Y'all will begin to
appreciate that word "flexibility" real soon I suspect.
I'd criticize the PSU on the bottom ( dust collector ) and the top
and bottom vents ( which planet do these guys come from that
doesn't have dust? ) but otherwise not bad.
Fwiw, this one looks almost the same as my BX (drive bays galore ftw!), only with the PSU at the bottom, filters on top and bottom and support for liquid cooling. The only thing that broke in that BX were the plastic HDD slides and the new ones seem to be different, but still plastic.
I've been using/building computers since the late 70's and have never, ever heard of them....
And if this one is their idea of a "world-renowned, modern, timeless design case, then perhaps they would be interested in buyin some of my beachfront property in Witchita, hehehehe..:roll:..:eek:..:clap:
