Bitter sweet because I’m pretty this means we lost real one. RIP

It’s church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff away.

    I had that chassis on a dell xps 420 way back when. Interesting internal design.

    some banger games there too

        It had a tool-less door but a reversed internal layout, you open the right side panel (when looking from the front of the system)

        there were tool-less releases for the HDD bays and disk drives, and it featured full-length brackets for add-in cards, with a sort of locking mechanism clamping over.

        It also had this weird display on the top. you could play solitaire on it if you wanted.

        bizarre little thing.

          same as a few dimensions we still have sitting around here… they’re “BTX”, the failed successor to ATX form factor… it had some neat ideas, but would need a little tweaking if it were to support a ‘modern’ pc platform today.

          It was called Windows SideShow I think. I’ve been eyeing an XPS 420 because I’ve never had a system with one before.
