Your PC case

something daft already!! · 28 Feb 2008 at 19:03

I was fiddlng about with Vista manager the other day and you can set your PC's model number in there. Being as I build my own PC's I had to think of a model number. So I thought, How many different builds have I had inside my case? 5 it worked out to be. I bought one of the first Zorro cases which had a reasonable build quality in about 2000 I think. So my question is, how many builds have you had in your current case? (Excluding simple GPU upgrades) Mine is 5 in 8 years.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

2 in current case but plently of upgrades, from socket 478 to core2duo to name one.

"old cases" not worth mentioning as i did not build them myself but did upgrades and the like.

I dont know though to be honest. Whether its best to just use a new case for a new build or to keep the same one for a very long time.

Thinking about next build. what to do. i fancy a antec900 though i am happy with my current case.

1 in my current one, but about 10 in my last one.

About 4 I think in my current one. Prevoius one I had was a really old unix box and sounded like an ICBM firing up

I've had one in two cases. :cool:

Well, I've got two systems and they both have been in two cases.

1 in my current P182
3 in my old TT Wingo
2 in my old(er) Zorro case

I'm not sure if they constitute completely different builds but I'll say two as pretty much all the hardware changed between the two apart from the CPU.

I've lost track of how many boards have been in my Eclipse now. Off of memory: 3 P5K-e's, a DFI Expert, 2 DFI Ultra-D's, an Asrock VSTA, An Asus P5B deluxe.

The current system has been in 3 cases.

Another system for the current case is on the way.
