Very nice build! Where did you find that Chieftec case? Looks new

thank you.

it looks new - it is new inwin case (not chieftec) 😀 i have found it on the ebay. they released in 1998, but this piece is manufactured in 2000.

i could buy a new beige chieftec dragon case too (that was the first version), but it fits more to a pentium 4 or athlon xp config, so i rebuilt it to this more authentic case. always the nice condition drives, cases are the hardest to find.

Great little setup! Nice monitor, too. I'd pay money for one of those.
Do you know what the desktop case on the bottom shelf is? It is very relevant to my interests.

The bottom case is AT, I bought it as NOS one month ago. Unfortunately there are no model or brand name written on the box, it is an "anonymous" case manufactured in 1998.

What damn shame! Honestly would love to have one of those 🤣. I've never been one for generic machines but damn that would be sweet. 🤣

Really cool looking system, it looks a lot like both a classic AIO Macintosh (the floppy drives) and a CRT TV with a built-in VCR (the CD drive & display) mixed into one system.

What do you guys consider retro? I've got a few towers here and there however some might be too new to post here.

It's hard to say exactly what can be considered retro here as some people have loose definitions of that term, some people use a Core 2 Duo as an overkill 9x gaming rig while others use a Core 2 as their daily driver so I think anything that's old enough to not be your daily driver is retro in your situation, here's a topic discussing current PCs which you can post in if you're sure one of your systems is new enough to be your main.
