Show us your box!

Apologies to those looking for some kind of anatomically related thread, I'm interested in seeing people's PC cases, have you modified yours? Do you own an Alienware (if so, I hate you) or does yours take the award for the most ugly outdated case known to man?

Here's my pathetic attempt at making one of my cases look similar to a pikey's house at Christmas.

(images have been compressed a bit too much, sorry)

Re: Show us your box!

Looks good
I won't be posting pics of mine here as it's a beige box with a air intake hole on the front that I enlarged with pliers and the exhaust has had the metal grille removed with pliers as well (and I didn't tidy up the edges)
It was last summer, I couldn't be bothered to get a Dremmel and I was in a hurry,ok?

Re: Show us your box!

Mine probably takes the award for boring, ugly, outdated etc. But then again, I don't usually spend much time under the desk, so it doesn't bother me...

Someone took the guts out of an old PC and decided instead to hold it together with what looks like expanding insulation foam

Since when does taking the cover of a pc off void the warranty??? That's the first thing you're supposed to do when you take delivery

Cue people pointing out you should build your own.
