Snazzy colors, interesting designs, hell, they look fun. Not like the black or gray monoliths we see now.







And of course.......

Modern version of OP's pics. Other colors to choose from. No BS secondary box, everything is on the monitor.

For the same reason they don't make ridiculous crap like Jams shorts anymore.

Finally.

I hate what Google what Google does with Pixels. It will roll out cool colors for the A series (budget line) but when you get up to the pros, you get a choice of boring black/gray, white, and a muted blue or green.

Apple does the same thing with their MacBook line, Neo has some nice color options then you get to the Pro line and the choices are grey and dark grey.

Right? We are kind of in a golden age of computer chassis.

Bring back the soul-crushing monotony of the 1990's beige tanks.

The first computer I ever built was that bad boy on the right. Those towers weighed a lot but could last forever.

Wrong. Apple now offers black for the MacBook Pro line. Well, a dark gray but it calls it black.
