You can fit lots of modern hardware inside—and prop your monitor on top.

    I’d love to see something like this in a tower format, and with regular 5.25" bays with faceplates rather than these faux floppy drives.

    I’d pay a somewhat unreasonable amount for that.

      I hope the fake floppy drives are just covers for external 3.5" bays. Maybe something hotswapable even

    It’s a little too tongue in cheek with the faux disk Bays. I’d rather see something that takes the 80s asthetic but modernizes it a bit. Still a roomy easy to work on case that pays homage to the esthetic rather than kind of mocks it.

      If they’re removable, could just put actual floppy drives in.

      EDIT: Oh, they’re flip-down drawer covers rather than fixed panels. Well, still might be removable.

        A drawer option would’ve been sweet. I love my 5.25" drawer. Perfect for flash drives, dongles, extra screws, little screwdriver, or a hiding spot almost nobody would know is there.

        I mean even if you could remove them, the problem is that beige is not always the same beige: same problem you had 30 years ago.

        The colors would never, at any point, remotely match the rest of the beige, and it’d be nice if a premium product that exists only for the aesthetics, would have just you know, done that last itty bitty little thing so it’d look right (from at least a distance) and be color matched.

          Honestly the mismatching beiges just make it even more period correct. At least from how I remember them

    I’d much rather have a modern take on a 90s InWin case or something. Rock solid, tons of I/O options and very tall.

    Modern cases need to bring back optical drive bays…
