As someone who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, there's just something about translucent gadgets that tugs at the heartstrings. Sadly, despite the best efforts of companies like Nothing and Analogue, I'm afraid the heyday for atomic purple, glacier blue or even basic clear plastic consoles is largely behind us. But that's exactly what makes the Arduview so fun, because as an homage to retro gaming gear with fun see-through chassis, this thing has taken translucency to a whole new level.
