Matthew ★★★★★

The GB40 FC 1983 case has a really satisfying retro feel, and the build quality feels solid for a group buy kit. The wait was longer than I expected, but the final product was worth it for the unique aesthetic.

Robert ★★★★★

Didn't realize this was a pre-order until after I paid, but honestly the 1983 colorway on the retro case is worth the wait. It's a kit build so expect to solder your own switches, which is exactly what I wanted.

Steven O. ★★★★★

The wait for the group buy was long but this 1983 colorway was worth it, the beige and brown tones look exactly like the old terminal boards I grew up with. Kit went together without any issues and the case feels solid for the price.
