Longest You Have Used the Same Case

[RJEwing]

I got the 550D as the case for my rig. What is the longest you have used the same case? I'd like to keep it as long as possible while just upgrading the other hardware. Thanks for your insight and input!

The longest that I've used a case is 10 years and the clock is still counting. A good quality case will last a long time especially with proper upkeep/cleaning.

I'm with Rugger on that one (a little over 10 years for me, actually).

Even the cheapest cases are built to try and protect your stuff and are durable. Unless you need more room for a graphics card, or a PSU doesn't match up, (if your case is cheap) you should be able to get away with the same case for years and years.

My case is a mid. With as big as GPUs are becoming, I'll need a full size in two years.

Since 95.
Over the years I've modded it to add front audio, mic, usb ports, and then a flash card reader.

Now it sits in my basement housing my home server. Still going.

Gonna build a new system using my 10 year old yellow beast! The guys here told me that it will work with a new MOBO so why not gut it and reuse?
