    After taking apart loads of old machines last year I still have a stack of CDROM drives, floppy drives, PSUs, an assortment of DDR RAM and 4Gb PATA HDDs

    I've also developed a weird thing for fans (case, CPU, etc). I have loads

    Re: Accumulation... does this happen to anyone else?

    As I said I would postup all my cases, here they are.... Sorry about the quality of the pictures!

    1st is My Thermaltake Kandalf, use it as my main PC



    2nd is my G/f Lian-Li V-1100 Plus



    3rd is My Sling Player Akasa Mini ITX case



    4th HTPC Coolermaster 250 Case



    5th Lian-Li PC-V350 mATX (to replace the coolermaster 250)



    6h NZXT Case



    7th Thermaltake Aguila



    8th Sunbeam Transformer




    I also have a rackmount server case but thats not at home at the moment.

    Out of all of them I have to say that the Lian-Li cases are way way better in every way than any other case.

    Re: Accumulation... does this happen to anyone else?

    Well, Jay, they are all being used. So that doesn't count. But if you had a pile of unused cases lying in your garage/bedroom then that would be funny

    Happens to me as well, but most of the time I just give them away to friends or sell it off for cheap. I think i'll just keep collecting them until I have no space anymore
