talking about wild product design, I recently stumbled upon a british eBay offer that I don't wanna keep from you.

RIGHT ANGLE COMPUTER

(link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286969765517)

@NikTheDusky This is lowkey a cool design, makes the IO panel easier to reach. I hate having to get on my knees on this hard ass floor to reach my PC's IO panel lol
@maidservantofnanaya @NikTheDusky I like and/or fear what this does for cable management for front-panel devices. No more wrangling, just straight lines from front to back!
@barometz @maidservantofnanaya @NikTheDusky
Also a very smart design as you no longer have to eliminate the "drive cage" in front just to make room for absurdly long video cards. 🤔

@barometz @maidservantofnanaya @NikTheDusky
Interesting. I did a Google Image search for "right angle" or "perpendicular" PC cases and found nothing.

This seems like a lost opportunity. Rear ports turned to the side for easy access and no more drive cage to obstruct long video cards (I still have a 3.5" USB/Card reader and at least one high capacity HDD in mine that I'm unwilling to give up.)

@maidservantofnanaya @NikTheDusky OMG they should totally make a PC case that has the rear IO on the top, and to make it clean, they could put a door over it. you just lay the cable over the top and slot it in.
