It’s an awesome looking machine even if it’s a bit dated for some people’s tastes. Any way the wind blows, it’s massively preferable to today’s largely soulless designs.

Taste is subjective after all. I'd say it has a certain late 90s charm to it.

Indeed it is subjective, I think the "Krups" was beautiful.

There was plenty of solid design in the 90s. Look at the stuff Sony put out.

It looks like a router designed by a toddler.

YMMV. I find old computer cases much beautiful than present day ones. Even Apple had "design" a long time ago.
