Big, beige ’80s PC case started out as a joke, but it’s becoming real in Japan (arstechnica.com)

You can fit lots of modern hardware inside—and prop your monitor on top.

I'd love to see something like this in a tower format, and with regular 5.25" bays with faceplates rather than these faux floppy drives.

I'd pay a somewhat unreasonable amount for that.

I hope the fake floppy drives are just covers for external 3.5" bays. Maybe something hotswapable even

Something like a 5 ¼" archival SSD would be really cool. Just a solid storage chonk, that you can forget in a drawer.

Pipedream, I know.

SSDs are not suitable for long term storage. Modern consumer grade SSDs are only rated for 1 year of data retention without power. Only SLC flash is suitable for long term storage, but those are very expensive and low capacity.
