noted that there was a Cool Case contest over at QuakeCon. The
winners included a machine built entirely in a suitcase, one with a glowing skull inside, and of course, one built from PVC pipes. Imitate at your own risk ;) I get nervous putting a Powerpuff Girls sticker on my case. *grin*

from Jimmy's website:
Q: Is it Loud?
A: No. In fact, the Power supplies and Orb are the loudest in the case.
Q: Electro-Magnetic Interference?
A: Haven't noticed anything so far. Not even while turning the fan off/on high/low - update 08/01/00 Still haven't had any problems with electromagnetic interference.

http://www.virtualhideout.net/ is a good starting point for Case Mod ideas.
The Cool Case Gallery has pictures of 161 mods (to date).
I think we have to give credit to gamers for driving the cool case idea a while ago (like the unreal case) but they've been left behind now by hardware nuts who don't care what runs on the computer, just how fast, how cool and how it looks.

Some Q&A is also at the bottom of that page. Thanks for your comments :)
I'm looking for a tiny tiny motherboard (preferably by abit or asus) - maybe MicroATX, Flex ATX or NLX but must also have an AGP slot. Any suggestions? I'm designing PVC Jr. and it's going to focus on size this time.
if you're talking about a regular putty-colored PC case, let me give you some tips. (I painted one for my then sys-admin a couple years ago.)
;-)
1) Rough up the finish first. Sandpaper, rock tumbler grit, etc.
2) Wash it off with water and dry it thoroughly.
3) Spray paint, fabric paint, whatever you use, it needs to dry completely between coats, especially if you're going to be painting over the same area 2 or 3 times.
4) When you're done give it a coat of spray sealant.
5) And for crying out loud, if you paint the front, detatch ALL the buttons and lights first. (Boy what a mess I made...)
Have fun!
