Clear Case Roundup

The Cheat writes "Interested in making your computer the envy of all the other computers on the block? What visitors to oooh and ahhh when they enter your room? The latest trend in computer case solutions can do just that. AnandTech took a look at three clear cases in a recent roundup, each certain to make you more popular, right? Maybe not, but at least they look cool."

What's the point?

I can see that these would be cool---for someone who's never seen an iMac. I remember when I first saw an iMac. It was cool. I could see through the case. But are there any advantages to these cases other than looking cool? I'd prefer to have a compact case that I could fit a lot of computer in. There was a project a while ago to make small computers that would fit in a small brick and run quietly. Quiet, small, low heat computers are what I'd like to see. Unfortunately this might now look as cool if you look in a transparent case.

Are there any neat things you would like to see in a case?

Re:why put your money there

I'd like to propose something to every single person who posts a comment like this whenever case modding comes up. Think of the last time you spent money on something you wanted, even though you didn't need it. Bought those Nike shoes instead of the generic brand? Paid a hundred bucks more for a fridge with a stainless steel finish? Then, instead of questioning why other people do things they want with their own money for their own amusement, why don't you just shut the fuck up...
