What to do with these?

while i was at work today doing the unusual afernoon tidy up, me and my mate went to empty the bin at the skip and found a suprise. the IT company next door to our unit had thrown from what i could see was 10-15 and possably more (budget, no psu) atx cases. now these are virtually brand new unopened boxes and the cases still in the wrappers. so as you do we helped ourselves to a few (i had 4 and mate had 3, all we could fit in our cars. although i've now only got 2).

now was having the idea of building one to toy with but have not long built a new one for myself, so any ideas?

a. to hell with it and build another new one with e4300/6300 and such alikes (risking the wrath of the missus as we're moving in a few weeks).

b. get on her good side and rebuild my old p4 system with a new case for her so she can't bugger up my baby?

c. go mad and have a bit of a case modding adventure?

d. any other ideas

ps. i've only got the two left as i said because i told couple of the site lads that i work with and as they got to the skip.....the caretaker had started to compact the skip and the others were mashed :lol: so i let them have one each as felt a tad guilty (how am i gonna explain that to her indoors, bringing home more crap than we're throwing out).

Sell them both and keep the cash for the move day(s), it definetly comes in handy to have spare cash for fish n chips at lunch time. :rolleyes:

Go with option a), the missus will be so busy with the house move that she won't notice that you have bought more stuff. Then give her the old one if she finds out :)

You've got a good system!
So build one for the missus, and mod the other one!

valid point, she didn't even notice the cases by the front door when brought them in, and when she did, just said that they were boxes for putting pc in :lol: don't think she belived me though

don't so much need to build a new one for her, my old p4 system is sat behind me, just rebuild it in one of the new cases or my case as the new ones are bigger (will take 7 hdd's), then put mine in a new one and go w'cooling
