    Well that is hilarious. The fake 5.25 floppy drive bay covers are an especially nice touch.

    I still keep my actual ancient 5.25" floppy drive from my first 286 DOS box installed in a spare bay in my current PC tower. The drive hasn't worked in ages, but as a chunk of my first PC is still part of my current one it means that, in a Ship of Theseus sense, I've been using the same computer for 30 years.

    I love that. I still have the very first computer I ever bought, a Power Mac G4 I keep saying that some day I'll modify the case to house my current PC.

    My favorite feature of that case was the latch you can see on the side, you pull the latch and the entire side opens downward, no screws. .
