I agree that a case is all about cooling and protection, though it is always nice to have some pretty lights and such, but too much and it just looks silly.

My ideal case would be a huge beige box actually, and one day I will get around to creating one for myself.

I agree, old 'beige' cases are great, they are made of actual metals, not some flimsy aluminum.
You can get nice cases these days for $120 that wont bend so much...but why do that when an old beige case you could get off Trademe/eBay for $5?

Plus as they are made out of older 'purer' metals....they conduct heat really well!

Because the older cases don't have the cooling ability without modifications, and I don't have the tools for that.
There was one case I had that showed a lot of promise, but I destroyed the front panel by accident ... also it wasn't as roomy inside as it looked, and was half plastic too.

No glue!  If it stays in place, it's all good!  (Nothing worse that the front of a case you can't get off if you need to do so!)   ;)

no freakin duck tape.  The nice part is that you have to pry it off like if it had been new.

it's "DUCT" tape, people. I mean, think about it- would you really need a special tape for ducks?

Well, I would just use any old tape, scotch tape works. Heck, even super glue, if the ducks refuse to pay their bills... I mean, shut their bills.

Although in such a situation I would probably ask myself, "why am I torturing ducks by taping their mouths closed?"... Then I would hopefully wake-up.

I think the reason Duct tape is shiny on the outter side is to try to match the galvanized steel that most air ducts are comprised of.


What about electrical tape?

There is a brand, here in the US, called "Duck Tape" -- probably just because so many people mispronounce it.
