POWER RANGERS

Always like the aesthetic of the trs-80 hard drive. Might buy a old one to gut and use the case for a modern desktop.

>1984+33
>apple still hasn't made a product that can compete with IBM
HOW WILL THEY EVER RECOVER

Those LED switches are boss.

...

in like 20 years people are gonna be masturbating over this too. We just don't like it because its new and unfamiliar

basically computers were for rich nerds, now they're for poor nerds

and poor nerds are the modern version of white trash

I don't see that happening on the scale of other classic cars. I mean you don't see people masturbating over 90s saturns.

Do it faggot.

you will in a few years

How did we go from this...

To this

Implying rich nerds don't also like computers.

more basic and "boring" cars take a bit longer

maybe 40 years or so. and there already is a niche of people that really really like 90s econoboxes.

Safety regulations are mostly why cars look the way they do today.

>POWAH RANJAH!

Socialism is a hell of a drug.

That was like 15 years ago dude

Rich nerds use Mac

to the tinny shitty box most PCs are today? the diff between an IBM XT and a PC today, the difference between a jeep and a daewoo

Freedom.

Interesting, I always assumed aerodynamics.

cult of ideology and self-centered vanity

Gamers wanting flashy stuff to show off, rather than something that's ordinary to look at but performs well.

Wrong

Computers were made for corporate environment, sure there were nerds too, but they gave a fuck about the aesthetics.

Now computers are for everybody aka normies, edgy gamer teenagers, etc.

Well *really* they were made for military intelligence, and then universities and corporations. But it was always the nerds in all of those...

RIP the beige box

I miss the keyboard box more.

Is this the a e s t h e t i c thread?

...

Maybe not but people can and will romanticize basically anything just on the grounds that it existed at some point in the past

*Mission begins in 60 seconds

They're waiting for you, Gordon.

My tower doesn't look like that I have a normal looking case like a normal person

dis

>tfw no front case that doubles as a cheese grater and blow dryer

Where did everything go so right?

Something about the jews idk

They ripped off the Antec P183 which was already perfect for its time.

A shame they did not bother copying the build quality.

> muh beige

u so cray cray xD

tfw I still have a beige box covered in stickers.

>A shame they did not bother copying the build quality.
I like the define xl's padded side-panel and easily accessible dust filters. Quality-wise I think they're pretty much equivalent.

That too, due to EPA regulations. Sleeker card use less gas.

>PSU shroud
>outdated desing

How did we go from this...

why is a psu shroud bad?

>what is genetics

... To what you fucking faggot? To what?

Not Op, but..
