subject: The Creation Of Custom Computer Cases [print this page] Custom computer cases are essentially the part of a computer that protects all the smaller system parts from damage while at the same time displaying your own personal flare for everyone to see. They are manufactured with your own specific details in mind to a design that is uniquely your own.
You will have two different options when it comes to ordering a custom case. You can purchase one from one of the many businesses that specialize in this type of thing or you can choose to build one yourself. Of course, in order to build your own custom case you will need at least some knowledge of computers so if this is something you aren't very comfortable with you should probably instead find a good company to order from instead.
Custom cases are available in steel, aluminum, plastic and a wide variety of other materials. Steel does tend to be the most popular choice however since the price can be significantly less than other options and it is often the easiest to work with especially when you want to paint or add painted art to your case.
Among the many options you have while designing your case are things like a plain one color paint job, airbrushed art on top of a base color or you can even have a window cut and plexiglass added so the inside components are visible from the outside.
Many people choose to design their cases around a favorite video game or character but there is no limit to what you can do. Of course, if painting seems a bit much for you there are companies that also manufacturer decals that you can stick on which are called skins. These skins come with many different patterns, characters and themes to choose from and are often removable so you can change up the look as often as you like. This works great for those of you that tend to get bored with something rather quickly and it keeps things interesting.
Whatever case you decide to choose you want to make sure that it is of good quality and very solid. Size is also important so be sure you pick a case that is big enough to house all of your compute components. It is usually better to use a case that is slightly bigger than what you need in fact, in case you decide to make changes to the system at a later date.
It is of course important to get the exact design that you want but it is even more so that the case will have good functionality that will work for your own situation best. After all, the main reason for a case is so that the other parts of the system don't get destroyed. This means you should get something you really like but also ensure it works as it is suppose to as well.
When planning out your case design be sure you do so carefully and once you have done this you can begin looking for everything you need to get that design. With so many different things to choose from when it comes to case customization it should be fairly easy for you to find everything you need to get the look you want.
