I don’t know that looks like someone with secondhand knowledge of a computer case explained it to the designer.

Yeah, it's not perfect. But it's cute and adds some flair and I'm enjoying it regardless of the exactness of its historical accuracy. Still nicer than another black rectangle under my tv. From 12+ feet away it looks identifiably like "sort of like an old PC case," which is enough for how cheap it was.

Fair enough.

Agreed. There are verticle cdrom drive designs they could have used to integrate the existing disc input

But then I'd have to have an Xbox

You don't have to, you can just look at this one. It's a visual experience.

That's really awesome for the 10% of gamers who have an Xbox.

that still seems like an optimistic metric

It's globally around 35% but I'm surprised that it's 50/50 in the US...

Aww, this is cute and I like it! I love cool customisation for consoles like this.
