If you're intending to build modern gaming PC into such case, that's not good idea.
Those cases were designed for sub 100W heat output of parts...
And with lousy efficiency PSU itself being pretty much that hot spot.

The discreet Fractal Design XL R2 could do.
As it have solid windows, no one would guess performance PC.

ATX Beige cases are getting harder to find, i snapped one up during lockdown and i havent seen any decent ones for a while, or they are at stupid prices.

What about going a bit newer, something like a Coolermaster 690in black, put a dvd drive in it, a 3.5" floppy drive (u can get USB converters for these if you want it working)

I will post this separate the mods can delete it if its breaking rules.

I believe some old Sun workstations such as the below use standard ATX fittings, they would make a great retro looking PC. someone has already done it on here but i cant find thethread

LOL, still using one as my primary case. Originally had a Core 2 Duo build in it..

eh those newer ones just dont cut it for me. those evercase ones seem to be my only option, and one of them are too narrow for my current heat sink.
