I fucking love this computer case. I've bought it twice.
It's design is old enough that when it says "water-cooling support" on the box it means there are punchouts for running tubes to an external system and the biggest radiator you can fit inside is a 280. But other than that and the slightly dated front I/O I really do think this is my ideal computer case.
Oh I have one of those for my home server! Only issue I have is for my use case the vent on the top does more harm than good with dust getting in it, and the dome top makes it hard to just cover up. Other wise it's a great hunk of plain metal
That whole line of cases really is the apex of "computers that looks like fucking computers", a design language that only seems to exist at the extreme low budget level these days.
We're starting to see motherboards with high end actual computer components without all the superfluous gamer aesthetic stuff.
so maybe eventually it'll trickle down to cases that have modern design sensibilities regarding stuff like cable management and cooling support but without the aesthetic crap.
Damn that's a funny joke I just wrote
I liked this as a luggable, and we sold some of these when I ran the computer store. I was always more partial to the HAF 932. Love me a chonky full tower
