I haven't even finished the PC case yet and I'm already thinking

"Whenever I finish this thing I'll need to take cool photos. Hmm, I need to make a retro modern mouse to go with it. I mean I have a MX master 3S sitting around I could use for nice internals. I'll also need to do a bit of cosmetic work for my speakers, and my speaker stands, and my desk, and maybe add a little something to my monitor…" :neofox_think_googly:

I've finally sketched what was in my head for the case design to paper. I should have some of the parts I need today at some point. Hoping I can figure out the internal structure and layout relatively quickly so I can work on the fun parts. Shout out to Noctua for having step files for their fan grill that they used on their power supply up on printables. I'm using it as the base of the brackets I made to house the case fans.

Next up is the first prototype of my logo case badge while I wait on parts that effect scale. Going for the original Apple, old IBM, commodore logo vibe. Instead of painting it I'll probably just get all the colors of filament as everything is slotted into the black back of badge anyway. Also maybe a 0.25mm nozzle should be an investment i make. MicroSD card for scale.

A black 3D printed badge with a white border and my "MTI" logo in the center also in white. Around the logo are stripes that make a rainbow. From top to bottom: red, amber, green, teal, blue, purple, pink.

For a while now I've thought about designing modern tech products that take inspiraton from vintage tech and midcentury modern furnature. Today I was watching a YouTube video of someone restoring a CRT TV/monitor from the 80s. They showed a picture of a similar Sanyo CRT from the same timeframe for like 3 seconds but It flooded me with design ideas for a itx pc case. I got some aluminum extrusion from amazon and fired up onshape. I wanna make something.

steamcommunity.comSad news and future plansOur headquarters, a server on 199x.chat, has come to an end along with the entirety of the 199x.chat service. A bit of backstory 199x.chat was a Discord alternative hosted by Oregon Pacifist (OP for short), an independent retro games content creator. In early 2024, he launched Retro Gaiden , a no-nonsense and no-drama social network focused on retro culture , especially retro games. I was one of the earliest sign-ups for the platform and have been one of the top creators on there since its start.

This incredibley neat haul of Amiga stuff came to us the other day ~ it was donated by a software developer and with it he had about 6 boxes of paperwork, CIB floppy disks and original software he programmed.
Some of the highlights were Animation Station, Railroad Tycoon, Shadowgate and Uninvited
