Not quite as retro, but I recently built a gaming HTPC in a Silverstone gd09 case, and my friend described it as having strong "2003 [middle-to-upper-middle-class suburban town we grew up near] basement" vibes.
For reference, we're from the next town over that was historically kind of a working class mill town, and we're from townie families whose parents and grandparents worked in the mills and factories once upon a time. Same school district as that other town though so lots of friends from there. Circa 2003 we were probably hanging out in their finished basement rec rooms with a giant rear projection TV and watching stupid flash cartoons on the family desktop.
It certainly has an older appearance but not quite retro enough for what I'm looking for. I can feel the vibe your describing for sure.
