As many of you may or may not know, Pimpedoutcases.net has closed its virtual doors to the mod world, and as they do we take a moment to say goodbye to an old friend.
Several years ago when I first saw a computer case mod on the front page of a website I was immediately intrigued, and even more so when I clicked on the image link and was whisked away to an incredible world; a place where people fused their creativity, imaginations and a good deal of elbow grease to trick out their personal computers. Needless to say these incredible rigs were quite an inspiration for me, as were the people behind the scenes at Pimpedoutcases.net. At the time I figured this was a fad – just a small group of hobbyists transforming their beige box of parts into something a little more pleasing to the eye. Little did I know the impact this group of people would have on personal computing over the next several years.
The “mod’n world” would be quite different today without people like Jason and Chris, the founders of Pimpedoutcases. These two had the foresight to realize that this was the start of something big, and dedicated themselves to building a virtual showplace where these creations could be shown off and discussed with the community. Transparent cases, UV and neon case lighting, windows, polished aluminium fans, front panel devices and much more were all inspired by the creations found on websites like Pimpedoutcases.net.
As the modding community began to grow, Pimpedoutcases became a popular hotspot for checking out some of the coolest looking PC’s on the scene. They were also a respected information resource for anyone looking to get into modding. They helped bring forward and develop a large community of budding case modders, and to this day many of them continue to bring us some of the most amazing PC creations.
Today we say goodbye to an old friend and look ahead to making new ones. As those who founded pimpedoutcases.net go forward now after college we here at thebestcasescenario.com have picked up the torch they helped to light and hold it proudly by keeping the domain alive and redirecting it here. The face may have changed but both the name and spirit will remain; a place where we can be inspired to let our imaginations loose and pimp out our cases.
The TBCS crew wish Jason and Chris the very best life has to offer as they head out on the road to seek out new adventures
