      You don’t have to, you can just look at this one. It’s a visual experience.

      Yeah, it’s not perfect. But it’s cute and adds some flair and I’m enjoying it regardless of the exactness of its historical accuracy. Still nicer than another black rectangle under my tv. From 12+ feet away it looks identifiably like “sort of like an old PC case,” which is enough for how cheap it was.

      Agreed. There are verticle cdrom drive designs they could have used to integrate the existing disc input

    Aww, this is cute and I like it! I love cool customisation for consoles like this.

    I mean… you could just have the real thing and stuff it inside…

    then again, those old IBM cases were about 50 pounds and looked like the stall walls of a biker bar shitter.

    At this point, why not just get a PC?

    Just put Bazzite on one, hook it up to your TV, and it becomes a console anyway.

      I have an i5 with a 1660Ti hooked up to this same tv. And an i9/4080RTX laptop that I do I lot of gaming on. Also a Steam Deck to the right of the Xbox.

      I just thought it was cute and fun :)
