I've gotten really interested in old Computers since I got my Commodore PET 2 months ago, so to play some good ol MS Train Simulator and Stronghold 2, I got this massive beauty. Here is a little size comparison between it and my main PC

...and loud? Some old machines have noisy ~~jet engines~~ fans inside

You could probably upgrade the fans.

A lot of cases from back then only took 80mm fans. To move more air, they had to spin faster and produce more noise. The loud fans were the upgrade 🙈

True, but I think you can get some pretty decent high airflow 80mm fans these days.
