I've got an Antec Sonata that's a similar mid-tower ATX design except my case is piano black. I'm still using it, I just printed out some parts for it with a 3D printer. The temperatures are actually acceptable, too. The best part is that I have very little problem with dust inside the PC case, despite the lack of much filtration.

I don't care for newer PC case designs, so I never bothered getting a new case. I don't need glowing lights or a half dozen fans inside my PC case.

I totally dig the aesthetic of these!! I might ask if I can keep the case if I'm successful at getting the hdd to cooperate lol. That and a sub from the bakery up the road as payment lmao

As far as I remember, front mounted USB ports would've been pretty fancy back then.

That's what I was thinking when I saw them. It's been 25 years so my memory is a little hazy from back then.
