I tried to buy my last computer case without a glass side panel and the one without it was never in stock anywhere

same but a lian-li in the early 2000's. the only reliable no-window strat was to buy a soundproofed case after than one and the replacement case probably can't fit gpus anymore

heck, i think i had to remove a drive bay to fit a 1070ti in there

i still have both with their last configs because my pandemic pc was a micro center prebuilt before cpus/gpus disappeared in may 2020. it's a lian-li but not nearly as nice as my old silver monolith

yeah, it clearly worked. apple owns the market for music purchases now, and basically everyone's going to streaming anyway.

for most people born before 1985 or so, pointing out people who look weird/different (whether intentional or not) was considered safe, effective humor, and any progress towards moving past that is good imo

if it wasn't basically a crime to gut one of these, i'd love to build a modern system in one

funny that the case release is the first iColor desktop part ever made, I think it's the color of the newton

re: computer boxen I am still using the huge heavy-duty mirror finish case I bought in 2008



I want to build a new top-end $$$$ pc to replace the 2015 guts in the current machine, I keep thinking 'hey I'll do a window / fans / RGB thing for a change this time' but deep down I know I will recycle this case again.

I had the black version of that antec, that spoiler vent on the back was stupid and noisy unless you cut some foam out to put in it.

One (or maybe both) of the included fans are way past EOL and make some loving awful vibrating noises when they are persuaded to spin up - I have a couple Noctua browns and a fan speed board to replace them I bought probably a year back, but the whole 'dig PC out from under desk, unplug all cables, haul downstairs, open up case and clean out all the dust etc' has had me putting it off every time I consider doing it.
