These are NOT low budget PC's

Take a look at these cases: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.10/makeover.html

Some people have a little too much time and money on their hands. That AMD big block has $1000 dollars invested in engine parts for the case.

That is some really excellent and highly skilled work. That big block, while pricey, is awesome

That chrome one is actually polished scrap aluminum. Even more impressive.

That's funny. I guess having the comps tilted as they are on the big block doesn't adversely affect the balance of any of the optical drives or anything?
