If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Going for the Alienware market then. Good luck to them, especially as their machine is almost called 'cocks'.

They look pretty good. I like the c-kins (case art), not for me but I nice idea nonetheless.

True but what is the colour for '00s? Is it beige?

Retro is the new intro...or something.
I find all the silver cases with blue LEDs a bit...Vauxhall Nova, and the Alienware stuff is just...gaudy, Subaru with the 555 design.
I quite like the plain matte black design (although the C= logo is a bit spazzy, yet ludicrously, deliciously retro) - understated, yet insanely powerful - like a Mini Cooper, Lotus Cortina or Williams Clio.

Phew, that's a relief.
Unfortunately, after FJs post, it does have blue LEDs but I couldn't help that. Trying to buy stuff without gaudy LEDs is not easy.

you could just unhook the lights.
you don't really need to know if the machine is on, or if the hdds are active

It's one of these:

I'd have to snip the connection to the circuit board which I'm not sure of. At the moment I have a bit of cardboard sellotaped over them because they stobe and try to give me brain cancers.
The case lights went long ago.

Me too, now I feel bad. Shame on you FJ. But then everything I have is silver and blue, or at least as close as I can get - it's a theme. Even my mini beer fridge is silver with a blue LED. I might switch them all out for orange or green though at some point,
