I fucking hate ATX and every related PC building standard. We're still riding the tech from the original IBM PC and any time anyone tries to improve things self-important snobs like Gamers Nexus throws a fucking hissy fit because changes means some guy from East Bumblefuck, Idaho, can't use his 1989 power supply anymore.
I'm sorry did some of my deep disdain for the custom PC industry shine through? I'm so sorry.

shows the PC industry the insides of the last Intel Mac Pro
That, motherfuckers. That's what we want. Yes, I understand it can't 100% be like that, but at least have some goddamn ambition.

@thomholwerda I wish ATX12VO at least ever took off.
And wish a standardized front panel connector for case switches/LEDs etc existed.
