    I'm surprised that computer mods/case mods aren't more popular. They hit the /. community regularly, but I'm surprised we don't see them on TV or on other websites more often.

    Perhaps because most people, myself included, don't really give a crap what their computer looks like. Smaller and quieter is nice. But case windows and, neon lights and a pewter gargoyle on top? It's useless.
