Up for sale is a brand new, unused vintage ATX mid-tower computer chassis: the Power Up GEN-1000 (Factory Model No.: TY-09SL). Finished in classic brushed/matte silver with industrial fluted corner pillars and polished front-panel accents, this enclosure comes complete in its original factory packaging.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY
- Manufactured during the early-to-mid 2000s—the peak era of custom desktop PC building, beige-to-silver styling transitions, and LAN party modding—Power Up cases were well regarded for solid steel SECC construction and distinctive front fascias.
- During this era, case aesthetics transitioned from plain cream/beige towers to sleek metallic finishes inspired by luxury aluminum chassis of the day. Featuring standard ATX motherboard standoff spacing, 7 PCI expansion slots, a top-mounted PSU bay, and multiple exposed 5.25" and 3.5" drive bays, this case is an ideal, period-correct foundation for authentic retro gaming rigs running Windows 98 SE, 2000, or XP, as well as unique retro sleeper builds.
