For me each decade would be a different style. 80s heavy metal, 90 beige boxes, 2000s black boxes, 2010s black boxes with windows, 2020s black boxes with windows and RGB.
or something like that...
What is your general idea of "cool"? Neat and tidy office pc from the 80s or more like a mid 2000s plastic space ship?
We have 40 years of home computers to cover here... thats a huge job 😁
Yes, you're right. I believe that for pentium 1, I prefer something beige, while for pentium 3, it should be something like a light beige/white case, with translucent details perhaps?
I have some cases with windows like Thermaltake Xaser but I can't see myself putting a Pentium 3 there, they look like a Pentium 4 HT, with that bunch of orange coolers, neon bar, and maybe a custom water cooler with a bottle of UV colored liquid .
Modeling plastic is reasonably ok for me if it is white, I can use PVC pipes (after heating they become soft and easy to shape), my problem is with translucent plastic, I believe I would be limited to the options I find on the market.
In the past I had one of the first ATX, which was basically an inverted ATX case, I think it was an intel design, it was strange but charming
