I'm going to be building a new computer in the future, and I was initially going to reuse the case for my old computer as it has an unassuming appearance yet still has good ventilation. However, I discovered that a new PSU would not fit in the case, and placing the PSU at the bottom would not be feasible.

 

I want a case that doesn't look flashy or have an over-the-top appearance designed to turn heads. I want a regular case that would look like a regular computer, no design quirks or unique aspects. Just a regular case. I can't seem to find any on my own, so I need some suggestions.

 

I like the idea of having a computer that doesn't look like much but turns out to be quite powerful. A "sleeper", if you will.

I have no signature. There is nothing to see here. Move along.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. To me, it still feels too "custom", if you catch my meaning. I see you have an idea of what I'm talking about, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe a case that's kind of like this? I'd take the case from an older computer of mine, but they aren't ventilated as well as I'd like them to be.

 

A cool project would be taking a Power Mac G4, stripping it and installing modern hardware, but the case design would be too much of a pain.
