I miss early 2000s LAN parties.
I was the idiot that always brought the full tower and the biggest 14" CRT.
It was stupid, until people realized that I had brought all 1000mhz.
ThinkGeek or somewhere used to sell one of these things that also had staps to carry it on your back. I always wanted one, but at the same time I didn’t have any friends who also had PCs to have anywhere to take it for actual LAN parties. I’d just join them at the game cafe that used to be here. Used to carry around a usb drive with my configs for games I played at home because the cafe computers would always just get reset to defaults.
I’m actually curious… What are these called? I want one for boxes this shaped.
I can SMELL this image ❤️ Stale pizza, sweat mixed with dusty air, the smokers who just got back in, food trampled into the floor, empty beer cans…
The ravers had warehouse gigs but we all ended the same - bleary eyed and smelly people having the time of their lives, regrettably packing it up and reentering the real world. I miss LAN parties.
I got myself one of these sexy little boxes. Holds a full ATX board, 2 5.25 bays, 2 hot swappable 3.5 bays, and two internal 3.5 bays.
Coolermaster HAF XB Evo. Really wish they’d do a redesign of it to remove a bunch of vents that don’t have dust covers. That and some better cable management
Modern version:
Some SFFPC cases even have handles.
