I'm not sure if I'm on the same page but if we're talking the cool funky looking computer cases, I have a pretty bad ass one at home. I'll take some pictures (if that's what your referring to...)

case modding usually includes tricking it out with extra fans (watercooled) blinking lights (LED) overclocking, plexy cutouts, etc.

Personally i think its a waste of money but if your into that have at 'er.

Yeah, I've got one of those bad boys then... I just ordered it with my PC, and it was a cool little modification if you ask me. I'll take pics later...

Well crap, that's way better than my old P4-1.5G with 512K of RAM which is in desperate need of an upgrade. If your looking to donate you cast offs....

What are you looking at changing? I've done my share from cutting big holes for fans, windows, lights, painting, watercooling, etc.

Last updated in 2002, hah!

Now I have a Compaq P4 that's SILENT. My friends are always amazed that my computer is even on. How times have changed.
