The guy who laughed at my Dell Optiplex sleeper at Micro Center

I was at the Micro Center in Westbury picking up a new PSU last month when this kid behind me in line starts laughing at my cart. He points at the old Dell Optiplex case I had sitting there and says 'you're actually gonna put parts in that piece of junk?' I told him it already had a Ryzen 7 and a 3060 Ti inside and he just rolled his eyes. I pulled up my phone and showed him the Cyberpunk benchmark running at 60 fps with that exact case closed up. He went quiet real fast. Has anyone else had people trash your sleeper build before even asking what's in it?

Bet people sleep on these builds 'cause they judge the case, not the components inside.

Dropped a $40 case once, got more compliments on the build than my $200 Thermaltake one.
