Old-looking case

[flibberdipper]

I'm looking for an old looking case, like a beige one, that looks like it came straight out of the 90's for an old build of mine. Any ideas?

[Unhelpful]

I would grab a current case and paint it. But that's just me.

eBay is a good place to look.

My question is...why?

I have an old Slot 1 Pentium 3 500MHz and a VooDoo 3 3000 AGP looking for a new home.

But I have no skills at painting things. And I'd just like to throw it together and use it.

Why an old looking case though? For nostalgia?

Check E-bay for some old IBM cases, though you may have some trouble fitting a PSU into them without some grinding/dremeling.

Only bad thing is, I'm gonna have to be careful what I find, since this motherboard has the AGP, 5 PCI slots, and one or two ISA slots on it, so I think I'm gonna have to go full tower.

If I had money falling out my ass and another house for the case itself, why not?

[flibberdipper]

My memory is failing. There's one case everyone shits on because it's beige and you can still buy them new off Amazon I think. Someone has to know what I'm talking about. I think it was on a worst case thread on here.

that was a troll by corsair but i really wish it was actually a thing.

[Eroda]

you going to do some old style case mod build?

 

[CatCloud]

An old HP pc, they look like shit though.

Try a second hand store. Or find a big old boombox and mod it.

Best place to find a legit old case is at an electronics collection, the sort where old cell phones and tv's get taken to. there'll be plenty to choose from and they shouldn't charge you anything. May even come with free goodies inside.

Happy hunting

Ebay is the best spot to find stuff like this but maybe in 50 years you could have a crack at somebody producing these as "Vintage" computers housings.

Dosen't that bring back memmories?  I'm too young to see these on commercials but my first computer had a 1Ghz CPU with a similar (Plastic with Green areas on it)

My sisters had cases EXACTLY like this

I would, but I need an ATX case.

Have you thought about the local rubbish dumps. 

It is amazing what you find.

I have pulled almost a dozen working towers, screens, hard drives and crap that I then clean up and sell on.
