Just found out this was a thing.

If you put build in it. Would it still be classed as a 'sleeper' build?? :pimp:

Great job Silverstone though. Silverstone DIDNT NEED to do this. It was an April Fools joke but they still went ahead and gave the people what they wanted. Lets hope its not just a limited run and will be distributed outside Asia.

why make a fake 80's case, why not use a real homegrown 80s/90s beige 45pounds 1/8inch thick steel horizontal case and mod it?

I actually thought about that a few times.

Don't remember how big or small they actually where though :confused: maybe today's cooler and gargantuan gpu wouldn't fit.

Unfortunately those I had I threw away years ago.

I only remember they were pretty much bullettproof :D - which makes sense considering the relative cost of a IBM compatible PC at the time, might aswell make it durable unlike today's flimsy side panels.

And the innards were always sharpened by a japanese master sword maker.

If it didn’t cut you, you didn’t want to fix it bad enough.
