Cool Cases At QuakeCon

Nate Fox 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.

  2. Not the best page by far... by tinla · · Score: 5

    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.

    In my neighborhood, you'd better be real nervous to be putting powerpuff stickers on anything.
