Give your PC a new look
If your PC is a beige-box bore, it doesn't have to humiliate itself on television to get an extreme makeover. Moving to a new case is an inexpensive yet radical face-lift, and with our help, you can perform the plastic surgery.
Dozens of handsome chassis sell for well under $200--worthy investments if you're looking for improved eye appeal, better interior airflow, and upgrade space to spare. And if simple ooohs and ahhhs are what you're after, side-panel windows and interior lighting can convert your PC into a true conversation piece. So break out your screwdriver and clear some table space--let's upgrade.
