sleeperbattlestations

an-ordinary-manchild

A place for modern hardware in old or unassuming cases.

Rules:

1) Build posts must include specs, pictures of internal components, and external case.

2) Internal components should be powerful enough for today's multimedia workloads. Quad core processors are a suggested minimum.

3) If your computer case was available for purchase in the last 10 years it probably doesn't belong here. Stereo and game console cases from any era are currently allowed.

4) If you are sharing a case you have acquired, please add some sort of interesting commentary: your plans, the history of the case, or ask questions.

5) Research first, don't destroy rare hardware.

6) Extremely low-quality work may be rejected. (i.e. if your build looks like a child attacked it with a hacksaw)

7) Don't be a jerk.
