I had a 5.25 kit for my Antec P182 as well on my Pentium 4. was the only way it didn't melt itself regularly. but that tubing job makes me cringe!

Posted January 18, 2017 I'll echo some of the above. I miss the 'ghetto' setups of the 90s and early 00s. The good old days of overclocking anything and everything, before that was locked down by cpu and chipset manufacturers, the good old days of attatching car parts and bits of plumbing equipment to your rig before companies like EK, corsair etc started offering legit units cheap enough that folks no longer had to improvise. Also max power style gauge clusters in all your 5.25" bays displaying useless information. Also to add in, actual real 'risk' involved during overclocking. The good old days of melting prescott pentiums, and exploding PSUs. As for things I dont miss. Fucking 'capacitor plague' :D.

Having good looking parts is nice, no argument there but lights don't help with performance. Power phases help smooth out the power being fed to a CPU or GPU, that means better clock speeds.

Posted January 18, 2017 I want simple builds without all the flashy bullcrap. No RGB, no lighting, no glass side panels, no flashy colors, just nice simple, quiet cases that are out of the way. I'm not someone who has to be "proud" of their computer. I have other things to be proud of. It's not like I put any effort into building the computer. Virtually legos for adults.

Posted January 18, 2017 I miss computer shops being an actual thing that you could do successfully.
