No one can say this wouldn't be cool now. If they still offered tech like this, they would still sell well. Probably the main reason they don't, is because the tech inside is shielded and all you would see is a bunch of aluminium-covered blobs.

    I mean, that's basically PCs with a transparent side. I also got a transparent back for my Steam Deck.

    I thought about that, but they're not the same, since all the cool PCBs are wrapped.

    GPUs, for example (then vs now)

    I'm pretty sure GamersNexus did a video about how taking the wrap off in some situations actually increased performance, so I mean you'd probably be fine without it.

    Really? I gotta look that up, because if this true, I'm having an unwrapping party!

    What I saw was on a main channel GamersNexus video from a week or so ago, titled something to the effect of DOA: CyberPower Prebuilt, around 10-11 minutes in he's looking at the video card and mention that if the wrapping is plastic, it's an insulator and gives you somewhat worse performance because of the heat, probably not that much worse, but noticeably on benchmarks.
