This is why I still use like a 15 year old Cooler Master HAF 932. That case was what I always wanted for so long because it will fit any hardware, you can mount 2 PSU's if you want, it has a ton of 3.5" bays, it has a ton of 5.25" bays, it's really easy to work in with plenty of space around everything and plenty of space behind the motherboard, and it's built out of actually good and thick metal. It's designed to last a lifetime. It's massive and it looks old now...I've thought about changing cases but then every time I do look at cases all I find is that almost every PC case is boring looking now and built out of crap metal that dings/bends very easily.
Notice how back then the cases could survive a war? Now they’re just thin cheap steel, plastic, and glass. Modern cases won’t survive 5 years. And they look boring. Long live the retro stuff.
back then, cases looked bad ass. I had a case which had 3 physical lit up gauges on the front from buttom to top. the needles would move based on temp, cpu usage, and memory. It was absolutely awesome!! I have a 8800gt in it, with a core 2 duo dual core cpu. It was fantastic. Nephew spilled chocolate milk on it, and it still worked.
@@DaveTheeMan-wj2nk and now these mass produced things break if you try to use them as a foot rest. A vintage durable case is probably the best investment you could make for building a pc. Only thing is cooling but some creative holes can help
@@TrippTech Yes! The good news is there are veryold cases that actually DID have excellent air flow liken to ones of today with mesh fronts ect. And they were built like an absolute TANK. The cases of today as you say, are indeed SUPER thin and cheap. My ex wife drank with mental pills and she attacked me, she picked up my gaming pc which uses an old case and she threw it down the steps onto the concrete.. The pc still turned on!!! Amazing.
@@TrippTech hahaha!!!!! 🤣🤣😂🤣 Exactly!! I was absolutely amazed it still worked. Evenspired me to repurchase that very same case. And make a modern build.
I had this as my first PC case back in the day. It had a plastic support or cover on the motherboard side that you had to take out to work on it. Obviously that didnt make it to the junk pile
Watches Small breakdown> You ok there bud? Yeah, it's all Flat black/White and RGB, nothing of interest anymore like Apple did in the early 80/90s, and nMediaPC with the HTPC 8000. Building PC's in the 90's.... Sharp, Pointy and Overpriced.. and Hella Fun XD Yeah 07 sounds about right, i Recall almost buying one of these in December of 07, maybe Jan 08.. Always thought it looked like a Escape pod from a Cheesy Sci-fi show from the 80's myself. nah, everyone else would bring their PC's to it... with it Fully Decked out, you would need a Forklift to move it XD and 10 bucks, not bad for the Case, even tho you thew your back-out to move it ;)~ As for IEEE 1394/Fire wire, it was a Collaboration between Apple/Sony/Panasonic. Each calling it something Different. Firewire/Apple, I.Link/Sony, and i think Panasonic called theirs Lynx or something Glad to see ya back Brother, Great vid as Always, have a Great Holiday ya-self. and See ya next vid yo

@ that should be marketing material for whoever made that case: “survives crazy bitches who don’t want you to game”
Would sell like crazy…..
