It's pointless in resisting, embrace the tackiness. Red and black are the new blue and black. Unused space is the new rectangular shapes. Gaming is the new Professional.

Gaming is the new Professional.

You'll pry my Thinkpad from my cold, dead fingers!

I won't because I like those too, I meant the "Professional is always better" mindset from the early 00's, where people thought they needed Windows Professional, Toothbrush Pro, Whatever Pro Plus.

Wait a second. The base is housing a 1U PSU, that's fine, probably not the worst idea. But, there is space and an aperture for another 1U PSU inside the top of the case.

It seems extremely pointless, but I guess the idea is that if you want it to be portable, you can install the PSU in the case so it only sits in the stand at home and if you want to keep it at home you put the PSU in the base for better thermals.

That doesn't make it any less ugly, but that's at least some kind of innovation. Pretty interesting idea.
