im using the same antec p180 case that i've had for probably 10 years at this point

the front door broke off and the front usb port assembly broke too, but i emailed antec and they shipped me a replacement

i'll probably keep it for another 10 years because there's literally nothing wrong with it.

buddy of mine had this. he usually just opened the side panel because the airflow sucked



there was also another computer he had as like a server or whatever, but it had no case. we needed to use it to like image a drive or something, so i found out his method for turning it on was to touch two pins with the metal part of a pencil

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

when i worked in the computer shop, smelly hick dudes would come in with a missing foot, a big grin and an insurance settlement. they would always order custom build machines with the most cores AMD offered, a shitload of RAM, and a 1TB WD Green drive. My boss literally wouldn't let me offer SSD's because "nobody's going to buy that, they want the gigabytes"

about 70% of the settlement builds were in this case. they LOVED THIS CASE.


Oh and half the time they wanted them to play lovely bra and panties pay2win KMMO's.

I have a p180 and aside for the size it's great. Wish it was just a bit smaller m

i'm not gonna look for it but mine was this case that was fine except that the side panels were styled weird, like the left panel has this very weird sawtooth ribbing and the right panel just bowed out for absolutely no reason, also it was total dogshit for ventilation


everybody owned some variation of this case between 2000-2006, i found a shorter one that still somehow has far too many drive bays at a thrift store the other day


woah nice power beans

WITNESS ME, THE FLOOR, THE CAT AS HE PASSES



in college i took a lovely steel case someone tossed and painted it red, yellow, and added a blue light inside the roughly cut flame window then filled it with crummy parts and used it as a cheap server. thing was garrish as gently caress and i loved it every minute until the mobo randomly didnt work after power cycling

right next to a plain aluminum lian li case with no garbage decorations
