| Posted by: jruschme on 2012-12-22 09:58:55 They always remind me of an old refrigerator. Also, they have one of those designs that makes your mind want to see a face, but too many horizontal elements to clearly focus on a mouth. (Probably better without the Zip bezel.) | |

| Posted by: ClassicHasClass on 2012-12-22 11:12:00 I actually don't mind them, but my favourite Beige Mac case is still the 72/73/75/7600 Outrigger (with the 9600 case being a close second). | |

Posted by: Bunsen on 2012-12-22 16:09:05They always remind me of an old refrigerator.Well, it does now. THANKS 😛 | |
Posted by: uniserver on 2012-12-22 17:03:25 Better with. Out the zip. 🙂 . | |

I've got eac . . . erm . . . the remains of each . . . and they're just flat-out nasty! 😛 Buy one already . . . we'll see just how long it takes you stick its giblets into a case that doesn't make you wanna put it out of your misery. }🙂 Better yet, buy my empty case and then decide if you really wanna populate it or just recycle it! In the right light, the CC looks like a real computer and even attractive to some . . . the 5XX series . . . . . . fuggedaboudit! Brooklyn: I've got a pair of those blood sucking vermin as well . . . They shoot horses, don't they? | |

| Posted by: uniserver on 2012-12-27 13:26:12 lol who? | |
| Posted by: BlastoiseBlue on 2012-12-27 13:34:01 IDK, I kind of like it. XD | |
| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2012-12-27 13:39:51 I have one of those types (6400) and I hate the case. Its mostly empty for a huge tower (except for a crapload of cables all over). My plastics are so yellowed I would call them orange. | |
| Posted by: BlastoiseBlue on 2012-12-28 09:17:03 So paint it orange! And stuff in more goodies... Never a bad day when you've got a full fridge! 😛 | |
| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2012-12-28 10:03:43 Forgot to mention I also got those Apple remotes to turn the thing on/off. | |
| Posted by: BlastoiseBlue on 2012-12-28 10:27:28 You know, it would be kind of cool to mod one where the front of it actually flips open... And maybe install a cooling system? Install a smaller mainboard, seperate the top from the bottom where you can store drinks and sandwiches in it and call it the PowerFridge. 😛 | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2012-12-28 10:34:55 Um heck yeah!  * hack time * | |
