This actually look neat. And I like that the fake 5.25 floppy drives house an optical drive and front access ports.

You know how electric cars sometimes play engine noises through the speakers. This needs to make hard drive noises, clicking sounds and fans going nuts randomly.

Kinda wish it had a turbo button, even if it does nothing.

[–] Alphane_Moon 5 points 3 months ago

Or even better a Turbo button that did something; maybe automatically put all fans to 100%.

But yeah, a Turbo button (working or not) would be a great fit for this concept.

I recently watched a video about a new PC designed to run Windows 98 with DOS for paying old games. It has a built-in SoundBlaster card, (highly) variable CPU clock speed, and lots of modern things like USB PS2 emulation.

It also has a small speaker to simulate hard dive clicks when accessing the micro SD card.

Found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogHqmjn6sY4
