I love the aesthetics of this case design. For just $25 (imgur.com)

I didn't know there's a console with the floppy and disc drives. And it's missing the stand piece but I'm satisfied overall. I haven't powered it on yet because I want to test the power supply and give it a good cleaning first.

The word you want is aesthetics. Ascetics are religious people who abstain from all forms of indulgence and practice extreme self discipline. Things like sleeping and living on a 1 meter square column 40 feet in the air while communing with the gods type stuff.

What are your plans with it?

I'm not sure because I don't think i can turn it on with some kind of modification. I don't see a power switch so i'm guessing the console was responsible for that.

I've wired in a switch like this for my PC https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-005X-000C0

Thank you for the recommendation! I found the little tactile switch to boot the thing but I haven't tried it. Still need to test the power supply before i try to boot it.
