I just learned about this cool PC case a couple days ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqyQeCbq4YA&t=221s), and I kinda want it over my boring aluminium and glass box. I like both the idea of an old looking sleeper and the horizontal pizza box form factor (or pizza box adjacent as it’s whole 4U thick).

So I started thinking about possibilities. The FLP01 is just an off-white version of silverstone’s normal HTPC case with a different front panel. So what if I got the case and modded it in a similar manner?

Oversized playstation, a very rough sketch.

I could 3D print this, and probably post-process the surface finish to look as if it were legit. It will probably go nowhere as I can’t justify buying a new case just for fun, but I wanted to share this thought anyway.

    I haven’t clicked through the links but if this is what I’m remembering being unveiled a couple months ago (I think as a Japan exclusive), I think those covers just looked like floppy drives but you could put an optical drive behind the top and a card reader/USB ports behind the bottom, something like that.

    I suppose if they’re actual 5.25 bays you could put a floppy drive in if you had some way to power them and get data, and you were using an OS that supported them.
