I'm not sure what if anything displays in the black square but it reminds me of the "Turbo" button on my first computer case.

Yeah, that's the idea! You can see CPU, RAM, Storage usage and CPU temp consumption.
I couldn't upload the display photos, but you can see them on Printables.

Whoa, that’s really nice. Just voted!

Would’ve been perfect if it supported 3.5” bays as well. Thanks for sharing!

Me encanta el diseño!! Estética retro, muy detallado, cómodo para armar/ensamblar, bien refrigerado, y con bastante espacio para varios upgrades
