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.

Yeah the idea of having one of those simple 90s cases is cool. I would be kinda worried about airflow though. I think it may get kinda hot. Is your front panel mod also meant to intake more air?

In GD09, the front is solid and the sides are intakes. There's 2 120mm fans directly feeding CPU and one for GPU. I could probably easily cut a hole for a second GPU intake at front left, but it might not be necessessary in my case.
