Ah, the computer case.

Yet another often overlooked piece of equipment.

For some it’s purely an expression of themselves (like painting flames on your car), for others it’s a purely practical little box, solely for holding all of your computer’s guts.

So if you’re going to go through the time and effort to pick out a processor, motherboard, RAM, hard drives, and video card, why would you skimp on the device that’s going to power the whole thing?

My home workstation is a bit overdue for some upgrades, and as I go through the process of updating various components I’m going to chronicle my experiences here on the blog.  A tech diary if you will…
