@dianea@lgbtqia.space this picture is totally unrealistic! Computers are well known not to run without at least a cm of sticky fluff buildup on every surface.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space In some way this looks like an old ATX / mATX housing... PSU top-left, 5.25" and 3.5" disk cages top-right. And what looks like a flat (IDE) cable to boot. edit: Because it is :flan_XD: Nice one though!
