As soon as I saw this I thought, "I'd like to have a horizontal one, like a Mac or Compaq from 1995." Turns out, the second sentence says that's what they did last year. (https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/pc-cases/retro-beige-pc-case-goes-from-april-fools-joke-to-retail-silverstones-sleeper-pc-with-modern-internals-ships-in-q1-2025)

I think it looks great, especially the horizontal one. Lately I've been thinking about putting my current parts into a new case so that I can add a DVD drive. I still have a lot of games from 1999 - 2010ish that are on discs, and I'd like to be able to actually use them.

Also, my gaming PC is in my living room, like a console. A horizontal case would be perfect for that.
