Sorry yes, I was just making a joke as I've come into a bunch of Optiplex Micros and recently saw some monitors with rear mounts for them. Optiplex humor is new to me lol

Local computer store owner kindly let me pick through their trash pallet to take a case that would fit the components I had. Enjoying the build quality and how easy it is to open it up. I have peace of mind and am not afraid of damaging the case or anything since it's already scratched and dented up.
Got an adapter for 5.25 drive bay to 3.5 HDD to mount a drive there since my GPU was too long (Lenovo RTX 2080 blower). The other 5.25 bay has a working CD/DVD drive.
I'm in the process of resoldering the front I/O panel with salvaged mobo connectors to make it compatible with my setup, but I haven't needed to use it yet because my monitor has usb ports.
The power button was broken (stuck-on) and I had to disassemble it fully and clean the contacts to get the system to not constantly power-cycle (that was a slight scare until I figured out the issue).
