Linus gets hands-on with the FLPO2, a full beige throwback PC case that somehow supports modern hardware, including triple-slot GPUs, 280mm AIOs, and up to eight hard drives. With floppy-style bays and a real turbo button, this thing is as fun to build in as it is nostalgic. Here’s why this might be the best sleeper PC case of Computex 2025.

The video opens with Linus expressing immediate admiration for the SilverStone FLPO2, a beige retro gaming case that nods to old PC designs while supporting modern hardware. He notes the thoughtful cooling-focused design, including a turbo button that ramps fan speeds to full, a lock to disable the power button, and floppy-disk style bay covers that add nostalgia. The host emphasizes the case’s period-accurate aesthetic, including a dome sticker and a mismatched front fan controller color that is described as intentional and authentic. He also teases the upcoming live build on the show floor, acknowledging the prototype nature of the sample and the challenge of balancing retro looks with contemporary performance. Throughout, the commentary shifts between appreciation for the period-correct details and curiosity about the practicalities of building inside a chassis that honors the past while accommodating modern components.
