Great case! If I have enough money, I'll definitely transplant my current computer into this case! :D

And I can also easily replace the keyswitches if I didn't like MX blue (never tried it)

The raised keyboard would not be very ergonomic, if you ask me.

Maybe the best fit for hardware would be an mITX or narrow mATX board with a Ryzen 2400G (nice integrated graphics) cooled by a AIO water-cooler with a 240mm radiator in the front under the keyboard. Then you should be able to free up space for a larger power supply and drives in-place of expansion slots.

Buy some SA Retro keycaps and use the keyboard as a showpiece. I don't expect anyone to actually use this board. It's kinda a waste to put a poker inside of it as those aren't that cheap.
But the concept itself is pretty neat, I wouldn't mind such a case. The only downside is the power supply and the price, 279$ at the moment and probably a retail price of 350$, you need some dedication to put that on your desk.
