There is a rumour going around there was a German regulation that office supplies should be beige. Can't find any sources at the moment, but the internet sais so, must be true. I just think it's funny, so I choose to be a believer.

oh Wow!

I was always a bit partial to pops of color in the late 90s.

My first computer in the early-90s was a Gateway 2000 386. That case, while light gray/beige, had lovely curves.

Yes! I loved those big Gateway towers!

Well, I'm in the same boat, except I hate the beige color too. My favorite cases are the brushed aluminum Lian Li, closely followed by black or dark gray, or even white cases with black accents. But modern cases made with glass, rgb blinkies, and lacking 5.25" expansion bays are of no interest to me.

Then we partially agree, partially disagree!

I had a desktop, but my sister had one of their towers for college. That thing was a beast!
