They also have a strong rep for being buggy and problematic. Or atlest that was the case with lanparty boards. But DFI dose really nice industrial boards.

Its probably a rather nice system to game on. Even if the parts are more on the meh side, but my retro system is full of meh parts too. 😀

Some nice systems you got there, but why the OEM cases?

I found some OEM cases to be very very good to build inside them. They are very solid that is my NO 1 criteria to be well build and massive, and the Compaq cases are very solid, also the HP XW series or Proliant.
I did have Cooler Master cases they did feel way softer then the OEM cases... I pretty much like the HP XW case is very solid and it look really nice and it have plenty of space inside to fit all the parts...
And for original old builds the white Compaq cases like this one seems really good choice for me..

OME cases from that time can defiantly be very rock solid.

Yeah they are, and this is the most important thing for me to determined what case is good or not, same in my main system, this is the criteria i did choose my case, and i ended up getting Fractal Define XL R2. Cooler Master Cosmos II was other choice, but it did cost way too much, so the choice was easy. I did also like very much the Silverstone Raven series, specially raven 01, Raven 03 and raven 05, but they are too much plastic, and too light, overall if i forget about the weight of the raven series, they look great, and the cooling performance is one of the very best..

The new HP, DELL cases and workstations are total crap, when it comes to case and parts inside, they are like case for cheese...
