Hehe, it does look like a sleek OEM AT desktop!

If the grille wasn't diagonal and no black piano it would be more likely. Design's pretty weird but at least they did some reliable hardware (remember X360 and their 3RL that affected more than 20% of launch consoles?)

My younger bro is getting the fallout 4 XB1 bundle. You're right it does have a retro kinda look! I was thinking about getting a PS4 but I don't know yet, we'll see. I'll probably just build a new PC.

Design-wise, are we going in circles? For example, silverface is coming back in certain (usually high-end) audio gears, although the design is simpler. So, is the 80's boxy, grilled look coming back too?

Maybe beige computer casing will become trend again?

Wow, the last posts I remember from Kreshna "3dfx" Nurzaman were from a long time ago.

Yeah I agree, the stripes seem fairly 90's, like this old IBM case which comes to mind:

HP has jumped on the bandwagon with their new cases, too:

That one in black is sexy!

I didn't think of that but now that you mention it...it kinda does have that look to it.

I don't pay any attention to consoles anymore, but that looks pretty nice. I like boxy designs. Curviness is just bland looking IMO, and also can be a physical annoyance. Rectangular gear looks more serious and practical, and somehow it's also more interesting to look at.

Wow I never noticed! I gotta say I really like the boxy geometric design, reminds me of that period in the late 80's where everything looked all sharp and blocky.
