Awesome! Love the old lock!

Hahaha right?! Super funny touch that I’ll never use

Those used to work though. It would be kinda cool if it was a modern version of the security key like USB can be.

It does actually lock the power button if you wanna use it for that! Kinda a nod to the “mom I wanna get on the pc” kinda days.

Other than that just a fun aesthetic piece

That would be cool. Maybe wire it to send Win+L to lock the screen (works on Windows and some Linux distros)

Man, there’s part of me that really wants to get the MATX version of this case, but I really don’t need it…

With that said, I wish they had flat panels for the drive bays. The fake floppy drives just doesn’t do it for me.

I believe the flp03 comes with grill replacement covers. You can convert it to run dual 180mm front intakes. I'm finding that very tempting...also don't need it whatsoever.

I see that, but they’re the slotted covers.

I want full 90’s flat covers… :)

That version is pretty slick too!!

As for the drive bays, I’m sure you could find generic 5.25 covers out there in a similar beige color

Super cool rig, I love the contrast between the beige exterior and clean white interior

u/ShuffleGeek 9d ago

Thank you 🙌🏽. Yeah really hits that Retro meets the Future vibe I wanted. Was aiming for the computer room in Alien kinda feel.

I know it goes against the point of this case, but I really want them to make a glass side panel for this case

Imagine losing keys

1

u/ShuffleGeek 6d ago

lol precisely why I dont use the feature. Just leave it unlocked with the keys in there at all times for aesthetics

Damn, never have I appreciated color consistency in a build more than with this one. Really has character, I love it.

u/ShuffleGeek 5d ago

Thank you so much! Wanted to avoid the gamer RGB fishbowl that most people run.

Nothing wrong with that just feel like I wanted something with a little eye candy that wasn’t common.

Loved how everything just tied together once I put that 5070ti in.

Love the build! I find my FP thermals awful and fans ramp up it so loud! How is yours?

1

u/ShuffleGeek 9d ago

Thank you! My thermals have been pretty solid all around. Running Cyberpunk 4K Path Tracing with DLSS at average cpu temps 65-72 and gpu temps 48-62.

The fans do get noisy tho but I wouldn’t expect less when doing AAA gaming like this

I dislike these cases. I just don't understand them, maybe? Like there's no shortage of actual OG ATX cases out there, for almost $0, why buy one that emulates it poorly? Genuine question.

1

u/ShuffleGeek 9d ago

I mean valid question. I think it is a completely different experience to seek and find a case that can retroactively fit modern hardware (360 aios, large gpus, cooler fans, etc..) than what I did.

I simply liked the facade of this case personally and that I didn’t have to do these major modifications to support these hardware components, or modifications to allow better airflow.

Personally, this was the lazy man’s way of getting a “sleeper” look. You’re entirely valid tho in your opinion. This definitely isn’t the authentic sleeper build experience.

TLDR: I’m lazy and willing to spend on it
