Someone should start making beige gaming desktop cases again, I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
Especially if they cribbed the old platinum stripe design from Apple, that was the best.

I wanted to buy a new mouse and for some reason I thought searching for "gaming mouse" would be a good way to get something comfortable, responsive, and low-frills. Because, you know, a mouse made for playing videogames would sit well in the hand for those long gaming sessions, and would really focus on performance over anything else.

Don't know what I was thinking. Some of the big name expensive ones seem like they fit the idea, but nearly everything else looks like it's about to transform and fight the Autobots (but just the once because the episode gets banned for inducing seizures).

Lol if your case isn't so old that it has an AMD 64 and Soundblaster Audigy 2 sticker on it.

I didn't want any RGB but I bought a $2000 computer 2 years ago so the mobo, graphics card and AIO cooler all forced it on me.

I have always had a soft spot for those angular brutalist style AT tower cases from the 386/486 era.

Might as well chuck in one of my lovely photoshops while I'm at it

seriously this thing is a tank. it's overdue for a clean with a can of air but it's indestructible anyway so I'll get around to it.

the reason it has no side is it used to belong to a friend and his ex gf went crazy and threw it out a window. now the side won't stay on. :shrug:

You know that switch takes non-zero effort to flip and makes a very satisfying “chunk” sound/feel. Hell yeah.

These duders are p. sweet, but they usually dont do the full RGB spectrum (so no blurple) and they very rarely have any sort of animation.

However thats all sort of passe compared to the new hotness, built in LCD panels

I used to have a really rad cold cathode with dual layered glass, where the inner glass tube had phosphor coating but was crushed into lots of tiny pieces so you could see the beam going through the gas and stuff.

Nothing will ever top the glorious Lian-Li aquarium though

Oh my. These days they just make boringly good cases.

I'm deducting points from your score due to that being a SATA HDD instead of IDE - really throws off the vibe.

:shrug: I saw an opportunity to make my PC look like a ST TNG set piece and I went for it :shrug:

My ex thought it was sort of silly but didn't care. I'm going to build a full custom cooling loop on my next machine or immersion :getin: so I'd probably add even more lights :shroom:

I dig it. You live your life. Pretty much only my CPU fan cycles through lights. It's not in my bedroom, so that makes it okay, I think.

I had a buddy that did the whole mount the computer components under a table with long power cords and all that. SO much effort, but still pretty cool.

For real, check out the SteelSeries types. Sensei, Sensei Ten. They look like normal mice, but do have some extra buttons that aren't super obvious or anything.

But yeah, some definitely look like a tiny auto-bot.

I used a Logitech MX500 until the right and left buttons started wearing out, over a decade and a half. Now I use a G502 that I bought a few years ago, it looks like a transformer but it's basically the same mouse with a few more buttons, better ergonomics on the buttons and weights.

A big problem on cases made within the last few years or so...

No 5.25" optical drive bays.

Where am I supposed to put my CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, 4K UHD, and blank CDR/DVD+R/BD-R/XL discs? An external USB optical drive? :wtc:

Yes? I have an external DVD burner in case I need to work with optical media, and in the year or two I've owned it I still haven't had a reason to unbox it.

You're right - the RGB is worse.
