Or, more likely, I'll come to my senses and forget the whole thing.
But say at least one thing for the beige chassis: at least it doesn't
have glass paneling and blinged-out LEDs!

That's ricin!
LEDs are silly!
Glad you came around to reason you clown.
Not that I need a new computer*, but man... it's so beige! >https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/flp01/

I mean, you could probably make this fucker bright pink with purple
polka dots and it still wouldn't look interesting.

If you hate that one, you'll dislike mine:

(although I don't think it's QUITE as bad as the example above).
So, now with a clear view of things, I press down on the microSD card,
and <<SPROING>> the card shoots out, unerringly right through the
narrow gap of the open window and into the lot below. It's gone; just
gone. The springs on the tablet are, it seems, amazingly powerful. ;-o

That one is based on PC98 design. They also have FLP02 in plans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNa6jdCQzlU
which is more usual. But the power switch (at least as shown in
prototypes (?)
so far) is kinda not fitting (at least it should be gray).
Oh no. No, no, no. The button HAS to be red! Redder than red. You need
to know it's there.
(although I'd prefer one of those square momentary switches with a red
LED. And maybe with a little plastic cover you have to lift first
before you press it ;-)
THAT WILL LAUNCH YOUR NUKES!!!

I was just saying I'm starting to like you guys. My current dog is rec.games.misc.chess. The guy there misunderstood my top-tier post and
did not bother to apologize. He's the resident chess expert, and I'm
not going to put up with such callousness.

Where are you going to find the matching CRT monitor?
Fortunately, that's one obsession that I've never had. I was so glad
to switch from CRTs to flat-screen monitors. I know some people say
the image is (somehow) better on CRTs, but it's never seemed that way
to me, and the increased size and -more importantly- decreased weight
of flat-screens is a blessing.
Although I do miss having the flat surface of a CRT that I could use
to put things on top of. It's really hard to balance a beer on a
flat-screen ;-)

All I could do was gawp, then hang my head against the window frame.
It felt like something out of a sitcom.
Such is my life sometimes. ;-)
As an aside...
I found that microSD card. Because of course I did. Only after I
bought the replacement, of course. To repeat, "such is my life
sometimes."
