"Trash" would be what the entire. article. is. with. a. garbage. article. full. of. piss-poor. writing. to. increase. ad. page. views.

in any case, I hadn't seen "gamer cases" recently but these horrified me so greatly I had to share it.

People BUY THAT CRAP?

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss these gamer cases.....from a looks standpoint yes, but that's just an opinion. Gamers have been the driving force behind many aspects of computing. Take video cards for instance.....

The use of larger fans may be the next thing to go main-stream. Looking up at my ceiling I see a massive ceiling fan turning slowly, quietly.....but at the same time moving 10X the air as a noisy 120mm fan. Just how to get this massive, quiet airflow into a computer design? Gamers appear to be working at it. :lol:

Yes, it's good that they are pushing limits. However, this also proliferates creation of eye-candy games without any substance whereas I'd like to see more creative games, maybe not with such good graphics, but instead with good consistent storyline, great art and humour.

last game 2 games I played that actually had both good graphics and a good storyline was Vampire masquerade bloodlines from Troika software. They are defunct now, I have no idea how as that game is insanely great in every way. Prior to that, Fallout2. Honest. thats about it.

I'll credit THG, since they didn't recommend any of those cases.

With a case like that I could finally get a snog.

The problem with Troika games is they did not deliver on time, had cost overruns, and the games were buggy as hell.

Otherwise, the games are great. They couldn't cut it on the business-end.

Can't afford a pimped-out car? These are the next best thing.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
