I'm envious of the easily accessible, seperated HDD enclosure for 6ish HDDs. All the modern cases have room for like 3 HDDs, scattered around the case that aren't easy to get at.
How did we lose the standard 1-2 CD rom drives, 1-2 floppy drives, and still end up with fewer HDD slots than we had 20 years ago?
I don't get why anyone would sacrifice cost, IO, and heat dissipation for size if they're not expecting to move the PC all the time.
Hell if anything, give me U4 sized PC chipset mobos, I'll cut some holes in a cabinet, if it means I can buy 16 cheaper RAM sticks, put 12 cheap HDDs in RAID 60 instead of getting 2 enterprise HDDs, OC 2 2 gen old 2-4 core CPUs, etc.
I used to move around an annoying amount. Lived in a tent for a while and had in my friends basement. Even still I didn't regret it being big too much because even then it was only every few months.
I like to have my OS and games on one ssd and then just whatever cobbled together hdd is fine for everything else.
Well, it's an 8 and a half year old rig, so not new really, but I lived in my house while I was building it, before that I lived in a 130 year old farm house.
How is a case that new so full of dust? My 20+ year old manilla box I just put to rest wasn't even that bad.
Also, I've never cleaned it. I just open it up every few years, slap in a 700 dollar gpu and get back to gaming.
Whatever works for you.

Yeah I've always really liked this case. Only issue is it's a bit... Huge.
How often do you move a PC?
