New model of silverstone retro case

Didn't someone make a 3.5 or 5.25 floppy drive into an SD card reader a few years back? SS should icence that design! I wanna turn the 5.25 floppy drive knob -thingy to lock it in one more time haha
 
I have to agree with some of the others on this one. Sometimes retro is better just left in the past ;)

But if you had one of those super expensive original Intel keyboards, whatever they are called, perhaps...? But then you'd still have to use a retro monitor to complete it illusion lol

Maybe could stuff a small LED/LCD monitor into the casing of an older CRT (not sure how hard a 16:9 CRT monitor is to find, or a 4:3 LCD) to give the illusion of a CRT without the added 80lbs of steel and vacuum tube.

Now That's a fun idea!
In fact why not stuff an ITX Mobo behind the LCD in the CRT's housing, and use the entire, perhaps Horizontal?! "case" as a GPU Enclosure?

As much as the aesthetic and nostalgia would be fun for such an old setup (talking about an old midtower here), cooling a modern build in there would be absolutely terrible. Who wants their Ryzen 9 and RTX 5xxx cooled by... 1-2 80mm intakes? Haha. I know the SS case isnt That bad, but still.

If it was a horizontal desktop case just used as a GPU enclosure, you could probably get away with hiding several 120mm fans in there, behind louvers, giving it far better cooling potential without making it Look like there's big fan grills on an old-school case. Similarly, the volume of the CRT housing means you could probably slap a large or large-ish heatsink (perhaps top-down) and ahain hide some fans inside the many air-venting grills that CRTs had.

It COULD work!
