I've thought about making custom cases for pcs for a few years now, but have only seriously begun to look into it. I've seen a lot of great cases and modifications out there and I am greatly impressed. Still, I have one complaint in general about the types of cases that I find out there: they're still just a bunch of boxes.
I will admit that I start off with an artistic background who has learned pcs the past 10 years or so. When I like to get creative, I really like to push it to the limits. It amazes me when I see people go through all this time and trouble to make something original....and yet it still is just a box. Sure, it's a really nifty and shiny/stylish/wooden box, but it's still just kinda rectangular.
Now, I have seen some really cool cases. I've seen some made out of guitars, charcoal grillers, toilets, female maniquins, and more. I've seen the DOOM 3 case, the Hellraiser case. That awesome cube one. These are amazind and blow me away. They seem to be in the minority, though. Why is it that these skilled and creative folk haven't gotten away from the box?
