The obvious solution is to turn your entire bedroom into a HDD cage with a UPS under your bed.

You can make your motherboard a framed art piece on the wall (make sure to match the frame to your RGB lighting) and use a riser card to display your chosen artist stage name.

Once you've built your masterpiece and everything works perfectly flood your bedroom with mineral oil for cooling.

I have a very nice discontinued Lian Li case that I'm using right now myself.

That being said the commonly accepted standards for PC cases have improved a lot from a decade ago and what the likes of Corsair etc are offering now are excellent. I'd buy Corsair if I was buying today.
That might change tomorrow though because that's just how tech stuff rolls.

I recently found a 1st gen Mac Pro which I tore apart to use as a case for my girlfriends PC.

I would love to build a passively cooled PC but I'd ruin it by stuffing a high end video card inside because that's my thing.

Next build I'm just going to focus on foam insulation for noise dampening instead of l33t cool d00d glass window bullshit. Only "problem" is my i5 2500k has legs so long I still can't justify replacing it.

i used hot bot to search for "teens"

i need to make a new pc at home and i want just a little tiny quiet one. big cases are terrible.

Sagebrush
Feb 26, 2012

tiny ones are usually louder if they have normal components inside bc the smaller case means less airflow so the fans run faster.

just get a normal 50 dollar mini tower

I think I have this one and it's plain and unobtrusive and just fine

lame. i bought an intel NUC for a purpose and if i was making a compy for a non-technical woman or childe it's what i'd use for sure

but me? i have an excessively sized graphics card. at least two platter drives and an ssd. i want a dvd writer and card reader on the front: i want large fans and a way to permanently remove my pubes. i'm thinking something tasteful and big.. quiet. cool. this pc is basically a "server" to the house and i want plenty of room to upgrade when i am ready
