well like i said, i got that big haul of old computers from my uncle in the late 90s. they couldnt work out a single way to do things. rj11 jacks for keyboards and other stuff. parallel port adapters for serial ports for mouse, huge fans. weird plastic enclosures inside the cases. engineers were out of control.

I often thought the major computer manufacturers did non-standard stuff like that to encourage customers to buy accessories from them, that fit their cases & so forth.

oh yeah. my friend worked at a pc repair store. there was a cavity in the front that you had to shove your arm into to pull a switch to get the case to split into 2 so you could access everything.

Back in 1994 I was working for a consulting firm. We had some smaller
clients where we did some hardware work (installing modems, extra cards or
HDs, etc.). We had one client that had one of those Compaq PCs that was all
in one like an Apple, with everything built into an oversized monitor case.

Trying to get anything installed into that case was difficult. ;)
