I've gotten really interested in old Computers since I got my Commodore PET 2 months ago, so to play some good ol MS Train Simulator and Stronghold 2, I got this massive beauty. Here is a little size comparison between it and my main PC

You think that's huge? That's a mid tower... You should see full towers!

I hope a full tower is this big

That's not a midi tower.

Mid tower, not Midi Tower. And yeah it totally is. Looks big because it only has one fan in the front and most mid towers nowadays have more fans and less bays.

Here they were called midi towers. And you're right, I didn't see the second picture. It's obvious there.
