    I often wonder what people buy for computer cases.

    It used to be, the "popular" cases were the ones for $40
    with the sharp metal edges on them. The person would show
    you all the bandages on their hands from the build, with
    a big shit-eating grin from the "only paid $40 for this".
    You know those will sell. Those were the cases that used
    to get crushed by UPS, before the case was delivered (tomato tin
    metal).

    For the boutique ones, it's hard to say which one is
    really popular.

    I haven't bought a computer that wasn't an off-lease Dell Optiplex or
    precision workstation in 20 years, so pretty much bone-stock. I did
    paint one sort of a gray-green color once. I might do so again, just
    for grins.
