Put in real 5 1/4" disk drives, you cowards! And a PCIe or (internal) USB floppy controller with IDC-34 connector, while you’re at it.
The three 5.25 inch drives bother me. Most PCs with that sort of aesthetic from the 80s or 90s with a real floppy connector can only run two floppy drives without needing some pretty weird bios and OS config.
We also noted that the supplied key locks the power button, as it did on some ancient systems.
The ancient systems I knew didn’t have a power button, and instead power was controlled by a physical switch on the high voltage side of the power supply.
The key actually locked out the keyboard, which was possible since the keyboard had a dedicated connector. So you could still turn the computer on, but you really couldn’t use it.
I suppose locking out the power button is a suitable replacement for a modern case.
I adore this. Whoever owns Gateway now should be taking notes.
