I don't know why, but translucent colored plastic gives me "cheap garbage" vibes. Probably because knock off memory cards and controllers for the PS1/PS2 used exactly that design.

There is one thing In here not like the others...
Give me translucent Game Boy Color any day :)
I always go for the clear plastic replacement shells for my electronics. I got a Dreamcast with a chewed up shell that is now clear blue, did my GBA SP in a clear green a couple of years ago, and I'm looking into reshelling my Wii too now.
I'm 'bout to bust
Graphite iMac G3 is perfection.
Yeah. Love that round fucking mouse, and that computer with a space heating, ESD producing CRT crammed into the same chassis. Those things were fucking garbage.
Ok, fine, Graphite iMac G3 is perfection of form over function. That better?
Never actually had one, always wanted one. I did use the hockey puck mouse at school, and agree that it was fucking terrible. Can't really speak to the esd issues from the CRT, didn't use it often/long enough for that to affect me, though I can certainly see how it could have been a problem. Most computers are some level of space heaters, as far as that goes, especially if you've got a decent GPU, so I'm not sure I'd really knock it too much for that unless it was just really super egregious.
REAL
There's no 3DO there, though.
Black is beautiful 🖤
literally drooling
Hey, I still have that exact iMac on my garage!
It's got Yellow Dog Linux on it lol
I remember almost leaving my VMU on a bus and I ran so hard to go get it back. Fun memories.
The iMac started this.
Gigapet : Am I a joke to you?
I definitely had a translucent tape player and clock radio in 1995.
