What retro (or not-so-retro) PC chassis do you like? I can think of Highscreen Colani desktop:

I personally liked DECs chassis' from the 486/P1 era. Nice clean lines.
Out of modern chassis' I do have a preference for Silverstone full size
So many combinations to make, so few cases to put them in.
Whatever case this had...
Definitely round edged, colorful early '90s design there in the world of exclusively beige computers 😁
I can't share as I have only one and I'm still looking for a second. And they're ultra rare. 🤣

I'm partial to the Dell Optiplex GX1 desktop case (that's why I have 3 of them)
And the tower version isn't bad, either
It's just a shame they're proprietary.

I have several of those towers and desktops, mostly PII and PIII. Only one of the desktops I have is a Pentium I that I haven't even tested yet and it only has a 3.5 floppy on it, the 5.25 bay has not been used, don't even remember where I got it from. They are great, durable computers. One of the Pentium II desktop models is an old Keytrack machine from a car dealership that ran for over a decade straight and when I got it, I put countless hours on it.
was with tower form that PC chassis began removing the lock key ?
-fffuuu
I also like the desktop GX1 case because the way it opens and is laid out inside reminds me of the case to my Powermac 7500/7600 machines which are among the easiest to service Macs of that time period.
