Choosing a Good Case

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

Sir Joltalot writes "There's a great guide at Tom's Hardware about choosing a good case. They also look at a few very interesting and slick cases you can get and discuss recent trends in modding. A good read if you're new to building computers or thinking about modding a case for the first time." I've been planning to build a new machine for a few months now, so this is timely for me.

    What I really need is a case big enough to fit Tom inside it so that he can continually keep my machine up-to-date without my needing to waste so much time reading all these hardware websites.

    At the very least, he'd probably be quieter than my fan.

      That's like trying to fit CowboyNeal inside a soup can. It just isn't going to work.

      Even if it did, the mass-to-volume ratio would be too large, and the can would collapse into a singularity.

      I wouldn't ask him to cool your CPU if I were you. He blows out too much hot air.

    Look at all the computers sitting in a pile (at the linked site). What a waste! Those should be in a beowulf cluster!

    I know, I know, it just had to be said...

    Wouldn't this one be more appropriate?
