I used to long for one of those cases. Had the Chieftec knockoff, got the job done. Still have it with a NF7-S sitting in my garage.

Any love for legacy cases? What to do with them?

Hey Tim, not sure if you're referring to this beige boxen ( to the left). The silver boxen was beige, but it was really awful, so I painted it silver.
How do you like my homemade PVC res in 2nd pic?

That is a great idea, with the easy access pipe plug for filling / cleaning.
Those beige boxen-turned silver are lookin' good, it was this beige boxen that caught my eye:

These beige behemoths are definitely going out the door (donate or ewaste) next week:
I'll go ahead and let go of the IBM case as well. I'm going to try to sell the Sun Microsystems case, I think there's still people who might want it as a memento.

You, my friend, are officially a hoarder...
I have been purging so my Daughter doesn't end up having to do it...As far as cases...I look at this way...They lend most to looks and are also about the cheapest part...
If I have not used something in 1 year it is in danger of disappearing...Unless its a tool.
Also I have mice in my shed just waiting for homes like this so they can breed.......and

7 days since you capitalized the s....and Stompah...I would prefer just a 3 day ban for these comments if we can arbitrate....
I've gingerly placed unused (not outdated) equipment in plastic or cardboard boxes. They seem to have a very high failure rate. Sadly, lost some very viable equipment because of this.
I now live by if it doesn't have a static bag then it stays in the case and the case acts as static protection.
So I use that as a reason to keep some older cases around, for now.
What I don't get is my local electronics recyclers/resellers will toss them willy nilly and their stuff works. *shrug*

I've got some old cases to get rid of. Nothing worth shipping. I'm a hoarder, so I've got to thin out the heard lol.

Great project idea, I'm going into 'planning mode' as we speak. Which case is going to be the lucky one, and get a reprieve?

Hmmm... I just had an evil thought. It involves supersonic projectiles and Tannerite.

Here's my old beige Antec with the Haswell system in it. I think it's basically the same as Tim's case with the side window, blow-hole & top handles.
