I remember when the parts took up the whole space in the case. Now I see people with aquarium sized cases, but the computer is just this tiny little square in the corner taking up 1/1000th of the space in the case.
When i was young and build my first pc's i would always use just whatever cases i got from my friend who worked in IT. It was mainly these beighe/white hige ass server towers. So seeing these builds makes me kind of nostalgic. Some 15 years ago i was obsessed with building the smallest most powerful pc's i could. There was often no room for anything and it was quite satisfying. Now i don't even know anymore. I think i build a fishtank again.

When I was your age we had to build the processor with hammers and nails, kids these days all using prefabs, makes me sick.
