Gamers who fondly remember the 1990s may appreciate the Maingear Retro98. The prebuilt gaming PC combines cosmetics inspired by the Windows 98 era with today's most powerful CPUs and GPUs. The version with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D with Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card costs $4,999.

Why are there 3 fake 5.25 inch floppy drives? In 1998 nobody used these anymore, it was already CD era with some still used 3.5 inch floppy for old, ancient stuff.

And obviously that pre-built PC lacks CD/DVD/Blu-ray writer which could still be useful...

Poor marketing attempt.

Is there a budget $299 or $399 version powered by a quad-core Ryzen 3.... I'm sure lots of people would be interested.
