Mini-ITX builders right now:
Today I spend all the day running to all computer shops on my city looking for a Computer tower with space for the DVD and Blu-ray burners I currently own, and man was none!, no new chassis come with external bays anymore. only old and used cases was available but I really wanted a new one. Had to buy some on aliexpress.

My computer was built on an old Dell Inspiron chassis which I did have laying around at the time, but that chassis have now 20 years old so is starting to fall apart. And you know how Dell intensively uses "proprietary" fix methods and rare connectors so having it working was a lot of dremel work.

Hope the new case works better.

I have one of those towers with a ton of bays but they're old and I don't bother using it, and that is pretty much the problem. Not everyone uses the bays anymore. For the people who did. They could just buy a USB 3.0 enclosure for $60-$100. I think manufacturers just didn't want to deal with licensing DVD drives and adding that cost to cases anymore. Removing bays just gave much more room for airflow and hard drives. Not to mention SFF builds. Imagine trying to put a bay in an SFF! Now I do still wish PCs still had SD, Micro SD, and maybe even CompactFlash. Since a lot of people still use those.

Now for Fractal's new Mini-ITX (the one SpongeBob oh so dearly needs) is so well made with a movable spine to either give you more room for your GPU or your CPU cooler. Completely out of stock right now since SFF builders are gobbling it up but I might try to get my hands on one to replace my fat old prebuilt.

This video shows the spine well.

You're not wrong, but it's because for as creative and genius as Beethoven and Bach may have been, they still couldn't have possibly imagined something as horrifyingly grandiose as most Soulsborne bosses. The combination of visual and musical storytelling is inherently more engaging, and causes the entire experience to stick in your memory better.
