Post the ugliest retail case.

My nomination for major PC manufacturers...

My nomination for major PC manufacturers...

Newbs and the "unititated" love that futuristic looking crap. I've worked on too many computers with cases like that, sadly.

To be honest, I don't really find that to be all that bad. It's not beautiful, but I wouldn't find it an eyesore.

Leave the Jazzy thing alone its a sexy case!

OMG it's teh STRONG BAD!

 

[Muttsta]

I present you with the Windy Jazz Take 5.

for some reason I think that case looks very cool
the downside is soldam cases are expensive as hell

Exactly, even old compaq cases from lets say... circa 1998 aren't too bad looking. I know they can be irregularly shaped at the front, but at least Optimus Prime's head isn't molded there like fucking Mt. Rushmore crap.

Believe me people, those so called "bling bling cool looking lan cases" are utter pieces of shit. I HATE seeing that shit on newegg when I want to look for a cool case. Note I said "cool", not faggotry.

Feast your eyes(or cover them, if you prefer)on this one.

Heh, I have one of those. I'm using it for a print server.

 

[MooCow]

Thats not a bad case at all. Are we missing the point of this thread?

 

[Hobbes874]

Argh, the ugliness in this thread burns the eyes!

i would like to restate this

 

[MooCow]

No no no no no... what we are talking about in terms of ugly goes is this:

If anyone is reading this and has this case... well then I feel bad for you.

Here is the worst PC of them all

You can learn all about them here, and buy them if you actually do like them..

[MooCow]

Thats not too bad of an idea... could be used as web terminals in schools, etc. Fuck it, you people lost the idea of what an ugly case is. Thread = unsubscribed.

 

[cgrant26]

We should narrow down to the top 5 or so nasty looking cases and make a poll out of it.
I think anything that looks like it's starring at me qualifies for eye dung.

You want some ugly, I found some ugly things:

Meh. 20-year-old PCs don't count, imho. They weren't trying to make them look good. It's a lot more fun to pick on the ones that think they're awesome. The PS2 looks a lot better than the Atari 2600. But that's okay. The Atari only beat it to market by about 20 years

Wow...the black stuff needs to go.

As white boxes go, though, I rather like those Inwin jobs. I bought one in 2000, and still have it. They suck for mods, but the case has lasted four year...longer than any other I've ever had.

Dude that rocks. It's like a commodore Vic 20.

Speaking of which...I've got one of those I need to make a mod with

Wow. Just...wow.

 

[firtol88]

I wonder if anyone at Asetek knows that the Vapochill has (rightfully) garnered this nomination.

Funny to think such a nice product has lost sales because it looks like pure ass.

Yep, it was ugly enough to make the first page...

I think this thing is pretty hideous

[Katiemarie]

Sorry, I guess I missed it. $

My bad.

 

[Deleted member 89137]

woah that blue case is pretty nice.... not for a computer for some abstract modern art.

 

[Katiemarie]

With all that plastic it looks like Little Tykes or Fisher Price built it.

Child safe edges and all.

 

[Apologenetic]

Step aside ladies this thing is a nightmare. Not only is it one of the worst eyesores of a case ever but I know from personal experience, the drive cages on this thing rival fort knox. If you can manage to get the thing open then don't even think about installing new hardware. The drive cages consume the whole inside with a mess of tangled sheet metal.

 

[BobCat7]

MY EYES, thanks now I'm blind and that case is the last thing I'll ever see.

Maybe if you had posted the pink one I'd agree with you...but here's $139 of ugliness...

If that one doesn't quite do it for you, there are plenty of hideous "CaseArts" cases to choose from. I will personally kick the crap out of* any male that has one of these.

*unless he's bigger than me

 

[diablo111]

Here's some more ugliness

WTF were they thinking with the front of this one?

These two are bad as well...

What's this? A sailboat wheel?

Yak...

 

[jaffy]

Unless the 1st one has intakes up top, its ugly and stupid . The second is fugly with its pirate ship steering wheel thingy, what case is that? I know someone whos a boat freak that might like that one...

Thnx. Now I know what to get him for Christmas

Wow. Just...wow.

The perfect buyers for that case work for BOEING

Look at that turbine engine, oops..... I meant fan!!!!

I must agree. Horrible things, AND they come in different flavors of buttugly. The nickname we have for them is "Toaster", as in "Who's working on this two slice?" (the smaller), or "Which luser brought in the bagel burner?" (your shot). We won't discuss the Oven...

They may be a nightmare to work in, but they are far from being the ugliest computers. I've worked with several, I absolutely hate having to go in to them.

Yeah, I worked on one not too long ago...pain is the ass, had to swap out a CPU and RAM...no room what so ever.

Damn, I had one of those. It was actually the first computer I ever added any RAM to. Convienently, the motherboard is flat on the bottom and the RAM slots are UNDER the little grey overhang. It was quite possibly the hardest upgrade I've ever done. Horribly designed case.
