I think we may be building me a computer dedicated to internet and video editing.

I want a cool case.

I don't really need it, but I need it.

I want something with lights and lasers and gages and a turbo charger if they come with those.

Any suggestions?

A refrigerator box, some Xmas lights and magic markers will make you an awesome one

If you want lights and gizmos, the best way to get it done right is to do it yourself. Clear cases can be had for relatively cheap from any manufacturer. What kind of shinies are you planning on putting in that you want to show off?

I can't do a clear case.

I just can't.

I hate them.  I've already lived though the 80's once ;)

been looking along these lines-

I saw a video where a guy put his whole computer into an aquarium and filled it with mineral oil.  Kinda cool.

Be creative. Surely you can find some container than is interesting and would make for a great case.  Micro fridge comes to mind ~

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

they do that when the want to overclock the processor.

makes a lot more heat and you have to cool it more efficiently than air cooling can achieve
