Epson, that company that makes printers and scanners and projectors and GAMING PCS? Well, they might not in America, but over in Japan, Epson is a jack-of-all-trades company with tons of offerings. What does a Japanese Epson Gaming PC have in it? What sets it apart from the others? Is there even a market for an Epson PC?

I am Japanese. I was one of the handful of my people to become a PC gamer back in the early 90s. The hardware and software was very hard to come by. I vividly remember, while our every electronic store was advertising DVD using PS2, I was asking around for Sound Blaster Card. I also remember smuggling Half Life 2 close to launch. I may have been the few or if not, the 1st Japanese to create Steam Account. And now, I see that my people are catching up. And all I can say is, never late than never. Btw, we pronounce Geo (Gay-O). I'm serious.
@CommodoreFan64 Рік тому
I think you mean better late than never😅, but that's great to hear it's finally catching on there, more, and more. Living in a more rural part of the southeastern US all my life, my experience was more like yours in the 90's where a fair chunk of my friends where console only gamers, and outside of school use computer ownership was more scarce till even the mid 00's than a lot of places, but I grew up with my family having owned computers since I was 2 in the early 80's, and I was even working my butt off after school at my first job to build a gaming PC, and trying to get parts for good prices like Sound Blaster cards, so I was the tech geek in my town. 😅

If they sold this case individually I'd absolutely buy it. I much prefer this kind of look and feel to the tempered glass gamer-cases you get at the moment. I don't care about RGB or LEDs, I don't need a transparent side panel. Handles are very useful. GPU support brackets would be INSANE to have. This case, with a bit more airflow would be a very quick purchase for me.

I've been living in Japan for 17+ years. Epson is still a really big supplier, particularly for local and traditional Japanese companies. You often see them in warehouses, banks, and hospitals/clinics. Its not really the spec so much that attracts buyers, it's the quietness, readily available stock, and "Japan-based" support. (Fujitsu is also another manufacturer who sells in the same space.) No real gamers in Japan buy Epson for gaming. They either build their own, or buy pre-built ones from local companies (like from Mouse Computers). I've never seen anyone say "I'm going to Akiba to get and buy an Epson".😂

That's actually a surprisingly handsome looking case! And I kinda love the front-loading removable drive bays. Far easier to deal with than opening up the opposite side-panel to get to them! I do wish they had the option to replace the front optical drive bays with like a fan mounting option, but other than that this looks like it would last _quite_ a long time. And no RGB or glass side panel - yay!
