I have to agree. Asthetics aren't important. I have removed the cases from all my box's anyway. My "office" is a real mess. Cables, tools, cards, modems and most importantly empty beer bottles cover the floor...It's hard to even get in here some days!


So, no, I wouldn't buy a box just for appearances....
You haven't been taking lessons from me, have you? Hehe, the only 'decorating' I do is making sure nobody kills themselves when they walk into my computer area by tripping over some random computer part and hanging themselves by the cat6 that's strung across the ceiling.

I gave up on glitzy cases a long time ago.
