Have you seen this case?

Found it in a dumpster.

I'll probably make it black with red glow from those fins...maybe a window and some hoses sticking out here and there.

That reminds me of the case that came with the Dell I bought back in 1998. Ugly as can be, but par for the course back in those days. Beyond that, it held everything just fine and lasted through half a dozen builds before I gave it away.

I couldn't stand using that (although I had to use something very very similar for my first computer)

I cut the backing of the fins so that it looked like a grill and cut a hole to put a green led 80mm fan that looked pretty cool.

Now that i think about it, I should have kept it.
