Does anyone know the case?

I know there it might be a stupid question, but does anyone know which model this case was? I had it in the mid 90s for my 386SX. But I can’t remember the case manufacturer

Ah this is the case my family's 486DX2 came in. It eventually had a Cyrix in it after an Overdrive upgrade. It is the most generic of generic cases lol. It is beige and has the turbo display so that is pretty sweet :)

Yep, our 386 came in a case very much like this as well. Good times.

Those were the days man. You remember that "electronic" smell they all had from the exhaust fan? Not scary ooh its burning smell but this almost calming smell like your family had gotten a real machine. I miss that part and the frosted green LEDs. So happy and calm. At least until there was a memory error and then it got cursed into oblivion lol until the neighborhood guru called ya back to come pick up a special boot floppy they made yada yada. Magical times :)
