I’d love a transparent AM5 motherboard.
Bruh a transparent AM5 motherboard in an all white case?
I would like a transparent AM5 motherboard in an all transparent case
Vibe.
Yes. Gimme electronics that look like this any day.
Get incarcerated.
You’ll get transparent devices in there :)But they won’t be as colourful and fun, which sucks.
I’m actually kind of surprised you can’t get transparent IEX compatible PC cases. No glass panel just all transparent acrylic.
That would be pretty cool. But I’m sure there’s either a good reason or a good excuse for it.
MB manufacturers are leaving money on the table. They can pair it with a transparent GPU and sell it as a combo.
$$$
Pretty sure it would just be copper color. Lots of overlapping layers (6-8) in a MB.

A sheet of shiny copper is also pretty cool.
The late 90s to early 2000s PCs I remember were that god awful beige color that I absolutely hated. It was fucking horrible.
Like in my mind, I associate that particular color of beige to dinosaur tech that’s not worth having around.
Dude, tell me this case doesn’t look sick af
Well that is hilarious. The fake 5.25 floppy drive bay covers are an especially nice touch.
Agreed. Also like the key switch. I think it’d look great decked out with some brown Noctua fans too
Oh man, Noctua fans fit perfectly with this ironic high performance/vintage garbage dynamic! Good call.
I still keep my actual ancient 5.25" floppy drive from my first 286 DOS box installed in a spare bay in my current PC tower. The drive hasn’t worked in ages, but as a chunk of my first PC is still part of my current one it means that, in a Ship of Theseus sense, I’ve been using the same computer for 30 years.
You could swap one screw from that case into your current one. It wouldn’t be obvious to anyone else, but you’d know it was there!
Nope, still hate it.
To each his own I guess. Personally I love the retro look
I still remember having to flip down the latch on the 5.25 drive as a kid trying to play some sesame street game.
I would hate that case.
I kinda prefer 2010s cases before they all just turned into squares
Yeah, it’s ugly.
Plus it was usually yellowed and sticky with nicotine tar
Only cheap machines were still beige by the early 2000s. Dell, for instance, switched to their dark gray clamshell around 2001.
Only available for 2 layer Flex PCB, not 4 layer.
Enjoy the laptop, Cool!
