I'd rather have a real one.

Is it sturdy enough to put things on top of it?

This thing is cool as heck. If I didn't already have a dieselpunk vibe going in my office I would love to make a '90's inspired retro room with this thing as the centerpiece.

They need to make fake creative cd-rom covers
Want my remote working again

 

[Jabberwocky79]

Yeah I would like it even more if it was one floppy, one CD-rom

neat. to be clear the top fake drive plate can be removed to reveal an install point for a full sized disc drive.

just need someone to make a beige sticker to go over a drive face plate to make it match.

Oh I see. I just assumed it was a hinged flap or something.

A hinge system probably would have been better since modern colors don't match. But yeah make the top faceplate mimic a CD drive would have been nice and still on brand for this era of machine.

I did a cursory search for a modern beige DVD-Rom drive.... yeah, might have to resort to spray paint LOL.

...or do an Ebay search for "vintage PC case" and use on of those? $130 is kinda steep, IMHO. Tempting, but... The maker in me wants to just get a real old one, not a fake old one, and get it to work with modern guts.

 

[Jabberwocky79]

^^ No doubt that would be a lot of fun. But there's something to be said for having things already compatible too. I definitely feel there is a market for this sort of thing.

To be clear, SilverStone is a Taiwanese company, not a Japanese one.
