OH LORD, its so ugly.

I have the top one. LMK if you want to make a deal.

Hey don't knock the "im a mac g3 too" cases, I think they're very cute 🙁

I remember when they were all the rage in the late '90s - I might miss the old beige cases but certainly don't miss these 🤣

I do too! I can only like beige/black cases so much before i want something different.

In my memory they often offered looks over usability...

Oh god, I forgot about those cases. They did look neat back in a time when everything was beige. But looks aren't everything.

Holy shit, I never knew those were a thing, but now that I do I want one for every machine I own, even my modern machines.

All I'm stuck with is cheap black cases I get for nothing off Newegg/Amazon

Got one few years back off free cycle, when I desperately needed a case. Had a dead AMD Duron based system in it.
it served its job as a temporary home for my daily driver, even though the side panel didn't fit with the CPU's heatsink.
Then became my bed side table which is how it got a melted imprint of my dinner plate on it 😜
Now it just servers as storage for parts. The plastic is getting or brittle and snapping as well

I have that case too!

I bought this beauty when I first went to RE-PC in 2013, I think this was only $10 but I mainly got it because I needed a case to temporarily house my AMD64 build, once I got another case that looks closer to its original gaming case, I reused this one for my Celeron-433 build, It's still holding up pretty nicely except the side panel had its metal shield separated at one point which makes it tricky to put back on together but other than that it's perfect, fits in perfectly with my late-90s Macintoshes.

I also have a similar case for my Socket 7 build but only the front panel is blue.

wow I really like those red ones , I only have the 4 pictured above and could use some warmer colored cases to round out the colors more. Those look like they share the same drive covers as one of my teal cases.
