I had that case like 12 years ago. The scratches in the acrylic still haunt me to this day.
you can get them out with car polish. i was using this case till about 5 years ago.
I got it recently as a gift, yeah no sorry but little ugly for me..
I've always wondered if there would be a tear in the fabric of space-time opening a portal to hell if the Acrylic PC case era met the RGB era.
Well, here it is.
There will be, as soon as I find this case.
Damn I want one of these cases for my 2001 pc.
2001: A Case Odyssey
I dig the look, love that classic stuff
I haven't seen an all clear PC since the Pentium 4 days, this has my creative thoughts rollin'
I almost got this case a few months ago, but then I remembered I was dropped on the head as a child lol
@@TheWitch297 I'd buy one if I could get it for the right price. But I like old stuff too. I have a crap ton of Pentium 4 era stuff
Ya, about the P4 HT Prescott release and TEC's becoming popular.
i wanted one for my athalon 2400+
When you in prison but you still need to log in for raid nights.
I built a computer in a very similar case for a friend a few years ago. Her instructions: " I want a clear case, you pick everything else"...okay :)
clean it with a cloth.... it turns into a static trap AND no component is grounded to it....... :D
It was never a problem my computer still works after 20 years of built in 2004. The only component that died was my graphics card whenever my water cooling loop leaked on my card...
You missed the chance to put amd epyc in this build and make it the one true epic build
I build a pc in that acrylic case, back in 06. Lots of led's and, front 3 bays had fan controller, cigarette lighter and, soda can cooler. Its was best thing ever and, everyone loved it.
Timmy, you don' t need that computer on your desk to annoy everyone who walks into your room.
Because I am annoying enough?
Have been awaiting this build for a while it seems now TJ. Excited to see the results.
In five years the trend will swing back around and be all glass panel cases. No fans, just led strips.
Imagine the look when Linus drops it and the WHOLE CASE shatters.
full water cooled system in a glass box with an external radiator
@@Phynellius that has been done before
My old XP machine was in a case like that... probably was that case.
"Great for quad core overclocking!" That cooler though 😂 That thing is massive. Could probably fill a hole in the ozone and absorb some heat.
I remember doing a build for a customer in this case with 2 7800gx2 in sli and core 2 duo e6300. I hated building in that case haha.
I used this exact case 10 years or more ago on my sons build. He loved it so much that he refused to let me part it out when I built him a new one. The screws are crap, but all in all, it still looks glorious next to his new build.
It is a Sunbeam Acrylic case. It's the blue UV version. The blue tint is Ultra Violet reactive agent in the acrylic that glows with black light CCFL fans. My case had 80mm luminous UV orange fans with UV CCFL rings. Also had clear acrylic rods with black UV ccfl lights to activate the glow of acrylic and all the fluorescent accessories. All the fans had chrome nuclear radiation symbol covers. It all came from Sunbeam. Still my favourite case of all time. I built many systems in that case. Sunbeam AC-HUVB UV Blue (UV reactive) Clear Acrylic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
I remember wanting a case similar to this back when I started modding and making custom pcs in 2002ish. Awesome find Timmy. Brings back memories which your channel does all the time. Oh yeah, awesome custom fan grills/shrouds...lol. Nostalgia.
Wow. Love the case. Great vid.
I almost got one of those cases many years ago. I will say what kept me from doing it is the hardship of maintaining the full Acrylic body. A side panel can be replaced, but anything else would require an entire replacement of the case. You also can't fully tighten up anything that screws into the Acrylic because the Acrylic may crack. It truly is a nightmare.
It's a SunBeamTech case. They went out of business. The acrylic cases used to be sold in pieces, so the end-user would have to put it together. I still own a SunBeamTech mid-tower dating back from 2007, with those 3 gauges positioned in the bottom left corner in the front.
That's a throwback moment. About the same time I started TEC and phase-change cooling my P4 HT 520. 😎
Most of the cases were UV reactive when using the proper UV cathode tubes. That's why the acrylic has a blue tint.
it looks pretty cool. I do remember seeing these in the early 2000's.
I see these cases making some kind of comeback.
Great job. Keep it
Nice build, definitely would like to see you make some mods to the case to modernize it.
I really like clear electronics, just being able to see through the case and everything inside is so cool, especially with Leds
Congratulations on finding one of these cases! I wanted to convert my work PC with a case like this one, but couldn't find any. So I just grabbed a couple spare glass panels from CASE-V08 (remember that one?), a motherboard tray, got a couple Aerocool Turbine 1000 fans, and made my own clear PC case! :)
Bro I’m so glad you found this case, I remember back when I was a young kid I was with my dad while he was doing jobs (he’s a service tech) and one customer I remembered throughout the years is this one guy who showed us the computer he built, may or may not have what inspired me to get into pc building but that’s a different story lmao. But it was in this exact case and he was pointing out to me what parts were what and what they did, I just remember being about maybe 7 or 8 years old just staring at it, it was lit up with blue LED’s, all the fans had like a holographic tape on them so they were reflecting like a little light show. he showed us the OG Starcraft and a few other games I can’t remember what they were . I also remember my dad in the van on the ride home saying “I know what you’re thinking, the answer is no.” Oh how that changed just a few years later lmao.
Dude you are amazing giving new life to this kind of stuff like the old Coolermaster case you made an acrilic panel (I have an old pc case and I don't know how to do that), keep like this thumbs up for you Timmy Joe
I remember seeing this case in 2005. Loved it.
A channel called "retro hardware" that recently did a full retro build in one of those. Black lights and all
I think it actually looks cool. You've done a good job of it Timmy Joe.
Better make sure cable management is on point with that one!
I love that case I got one o god 15 years ish ago ...heavy but awsome...I still keep a running build in it
I actually remember buying this case from a store called computer renaissance back in the summer of 2003. The PC that I built with it had a 2.8 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 cpu with 512 mb ddr ram at 400 mhz, 40 gb ultra ata hard drive, Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 with 256 mb video ram, and for the operating system, it had Windows XP service pack 1. Not sure if you consider 2003 to be a long time ago. Not many people had smartphones in 2003.
I like it looks very good. Congrats man.
I just put a Ryzen 3950x build in a Corsair C70. Even found a company that still made a solid clear side panel replacement for it (original had fan holes in it) and got it. It's not too shabby looking, and it's built like a tank.
love the old case, great project!!
Man that looks amazing. And the tune while you build that pc was really good to some black midi oldschool shit. Great video
Acrylic is the devil, had one of these in 2003 and ended up throwing it away because it was far to easy to scratch. It would have contained a Athlon 64 and in 2003 modular power supplies were a dream.
Do you remember when the Hiper Type-R modular came out? Was it 2004ish? Terrible PSU, but garish colors and modular, great.
3:12 : I'm pretty good at that kind of stuff
I always wanted one of those cases back in the day. Cool to see it with new hardware in it. Someone should remake it all glass. Kickstarter anyone?
To be honest... This is EXTREMELY cool build!
Have almost the exact same case. Logisys blue acrylic I purchased in 2012. My fan plates all match and the side one are mounted horizontaly instead of stacked. I plann on keeping it until it's completely destroyed.
my first case was Sunbeam Samurai back in summer 2008! it came with original Sunbeam UV 92mm fans + i bought extra Sunbeam 120mm UV. cords was transparent. its hard to find any high performance transparent fans.
I had that same case, but it was lime green! Had an AMD athlon 64 x2 back when I first bought it used in 2012. It was UV activated as well!
They made special clear/tinted acrylic PSU cases, optical drive cases, and even hard drive top covers for use in these cases back in the day. Helped a few people with all of the case swaps. And from what I remember, the feet lights were an option, third party add-on, or DIY.
It could be done, but nobody seems to want to.
I'd love a case like this again. Leave spots for optical drives, enable enough room for high airflow and radiators, make it all outta acrylic.
I'd want it.
I had this case. Was one of my first cases. I liked it. Kind wish they would come out with something similar, but newer, maybe with glass. I would do a 3 chamber, 1 chamber for mobo, middle (thing) section for cable management, and 1 chamber for PSU and whatever else.
This case brings back memories 😍 use to drool over cases like this growing up 😂
It is a cool setup, retro and modern.
I still have a sweet Antec Lanboy with a 200mm fan mod on the acrylic side. I love stuff like this!
The chiptune music is quite fitting. Cool build
wow i found one of those cases in work about 6yrs ago was going to do build in it but ended up giving it to my mate
Cool chip tunes during the build.
I had this clear case when I was younger, my dad bought it for me so I can game on it, it was awesome! It had some old school lighting sticks in it with green led and red led sticks that you can buy in the early 2000's for the inside of car's. That kind of led lights. And I had on the outside of the case a virus marking on it nothing to do with being a good airflow case but still pretty cool tho haha
i agree it came out cool
Honestly this looks pretty good, with all the rgb craze it would be nice for some popular company to do similar clear case but with proper cable management, 120mm fans instead + rearranged or even removed 5.25inch mounting spots.
look good enjoyed it thank you
I know you said it's a simple case. But this is actually bad ass! Bro pimp this out! Get creative! The boys got you!
"Let's take this thing apart!"
I can't wait to see what's inside
create an opaque 5 1/4 drive bay to shove wires in, watercool it with clear bay reservoirs. cut 140 or 200mm fan holes with a regular hole saw
love the hsf, wish i had that for my socket 775 puter, i have a tuniq tower 120.
Man this case brings back memories!!!
Always wanted one like this!!!!
OH man that case brings back memories
I saw a ad for a similar one. It was a LOGISYS Computer CS888CL Transparent Clear Acrylic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Pre-Assembled. It is on NewEgg but there none in stock.
That thing could modernize up pretty good too. Softline tubing, vertical GPU mount, 5.25" res/pump combo, etc.
Looks pretty dope.
It's similar to the old Cooler Master/Lian Li aluminium case from the early 2000s. I have a similar one branded Geeek which is awesome.
Finally!! I've been so excited since you posted the picture of this on instagram
My local computer shop put their high-end rigs that they sold in these things back in the mid-2000s I always thought they were still baller
if I'm not mistaken water cooling enthusiasts used to love that acrylic bombshell as they could use it to display their custom loops and the fact that mounting pumps and stuff was easily done with some measuring and a drill
Don't know if you noticed it yourself, but the fan controller looks very similar to the mid 2000's Cooler Master Musketeer - very appropriate.
Beautiful build!
I built an Athlon X2 6000+ pc in the green version of this case. It was the color of antifreeze. Lit with green cold cathode ray tubes with molex connectors. It was a mess, but he loved it.
You could heat treat it to help with the scratches and make it more clear again. Or figure out how to make most of it frosted lol. But yeah, heat.
I have this case, found it for like $65 around an hour trip from my house with random components in it that the lady did not know about, turned into a LGA socket 775 of course with decent PSU and some original RGB "bar/pole" type of RGB lights.... Case fans inside clear, no rgb.... was a 8 gb with core 2 duo 8400 or so.... Whenever the MObo has the big PINK connector on the rear I/O I sort of "give-up" on it even though it was a nice board for its time as in asus with golden colored heat-sinks with blue accents.... It did run once I re-plugged in the 8 pin PSU connector that had come undone, used it for few hours for fun and checking drive for "fun" like most tinkerers would but then I somehow did what I always do and took it all apart where it still sits in the pile of PC parts I have, fully apart, LOL.... Does it work now? Unsure.... The case has zero cable management obviously but I thought was sort of cool also and beings I got a big POLK audio "sound bar" I use to this day (using it now) as my main sound bar via spdif even though it has bluetooth, that was thrown in with tons of stuff like a GTX 470 by EVGA as well as monster cables (HDMi) and such so even without the PC itself it was worth ther $60/%65 asking price for the lot of stuff, printer too that worked and I gave away however, makes me want to toss this one back together..... Good job man! ..... I love "surprise older custom pc's sold by people who are honestly unsure what it is or ifit works anymore" and this is exactly how I acquired this particular case.... I have like 3 Antec PXX cases as well, man they are built like tanks, also a very cool in original shape Antec Super Lan Boy case with the original snap on carrying strap (Gave this to my son for his x79 gaming rig with overclocked 1650 v0 xeon overclocked to 4.8 or so ghz) I dare anyone to try to find one of those available, anywhere! Even antec does not have them, I should have KEPT this PC together as it was actually from a company and out of a magazine but did not realize until later however I did realize and keep the case in PERFECT SHAPE but again, gave the strap to my son because it fit over his silver stone FT05-S case which is my fave case ever built BTW hence it all came from me, to him to upgrade his x58 as I moved onto x99, he took the x79 and we will do it again and he will end up with a 40 or 20 core xeon on the 14nm broad-well with some very nice components and ram as well as cooler around 2024... I wonder if we will ever catch up to intels enthusiast platform. HAHA... It is FUN though.... The case is in the mail now as in a white Corsair icue 5000x I settled on over the bit older mirror 570x by corsair as I just really like the white and grey even though I do not like any plastic on my cases the little bit on the 5000 airflow and 5000x is not so bad compared to the typical and this is a higher end case of course..... I LOVED the pattern on the 5000 airflow by corsair, it reminds me of the old radiators and such, absolutely brilliant but I shall see when it gets here and I build the x99 system in it, need my huge AIO still and to choose a chip[, everything else is here including the white corsair 850 gold rated rmx psu NiB .... I want the NXT AiO Cooler that has three BLACK fans and reads out the temp on the dial to go with the case and again, either 10 to 20 cores on one of these broad-well xeons just a shame none are unlocked so still debating whether 6900k, 6950x or maybe even 5960x as seem to be a bargain, at least the 59 series.... Suggestions? ....
The problems you are facing with finding who made that case is probably down to the fact that many people actually made their own acrylic cases as acryl is easy to work with. In Athlon 64/Pentium 4 era people build those, put some cold cathodes, added front displays, some fancy fan grilles, UV stuff (often DFI LanParty boards), rubber pipes for cable management (water cooling was tad too exotic at the time). If you have nothing to do, maybe you could design your own acrylic case and make it with decent modern internals.
Sick build! Very sci-fi 🧑🔬
My cousin was making these and selling them back in the early 90s. Now it seems funny to me because I was not aware of the custom pc market back then.
i have 3 of those cases still (: imo best cases ever. 1 is smoked, 1 is blue, and 1 is the basic clear one like yours.
theyvere effing amazing imo
My friend had that identical case back in like 2006 haha. Also it looks sick with some cold cathode tubes (if I remember the blue tint is UV active).
I think that if you would take some rough sandpaper( something like 40/60/80 grit) to it and make translucent instead of clear it would look even better because it would diffuse the light from the LED strips through all of the case.
Honestly, I have kinda always wanted to build an Acrylic clear PC. Now with modern lighting, RGB fans, and RGB modular power supplies and custom cables... you could make a sweet looking build on one of these. Timmy you should buy a new one and do a completely custom modern build with sleeved cables. It will be like the "invisible case"
You could also go FULL Cold Cathode which would look great.
I have the same case but darker blue. Its a great looking case that's why I bought it.
Love it! Looks fu*king awesome!
I imagine a clear case like this but with modern features a full hard tube custom loop, custom lenght cables on everything so you don't have clutter anywhere and lots of RGB or maybe UV for the retro vibe?.
I got the next model up!!! Got the sunbeam 9-bay case... only difference really is has 120mm fans .. Recently put a 10850k,3080,32GB ram into the case hahah.. only thing is you really have to be tidy with 100% acrylic case
Awesome video!!!
That is so cool.
I had that case when it first came out.
I really like that cooler!
Damn thats a cool build.... i cant really find such a case anymore, i remember seing those on aliexpress a few years ago...
Microcenter used this case as a display model for a few years back in 2003.
Pre rgb, early 2000s goodness. I remember how much I wanted that.
i have the same gpu, and cpu. love it! 1080p cyberpunk on ultra averages 50-60 fps
Mmmmmm heck Yeeees on the music !!!! Good job !!!
It was made by NorthQ and i came with 5 80mm fans with blue led's + 2 blue catodes and a 400w power supply, was about 250usd. still have a new unpacked in the attic
I have the same case and it has spider fan covers. With an amd m3a32-mvp deluxe motherboard.
