New case idea - Old Stereo Equipment?

How about Betamax player PC, now we are talking retro and stealth

Ya! Or classic console like the PS2 or NES!

NES PC

I have never seen anyone do a PS2 I would guess it would be a tight fit.

Yeah- for a hackintosh right now is really the first time it's possible to build powerful rigs without a graphics card- so these could easily be Sandy Bridge quad-core systems running Lion.

The Mini ITX boards that can run Core i5 and i7 are amazing and there are so many cases you could shoe horn them in to.

I love how many case moders we have here, I dont know the software side of it all this that well but I love getting my hands dirty with the hardware side.
