If you are selling the high-end stuff, you logos incorporated as part of
the "cool factor" might make a little bigger investment worth it. Geeks
do seem to like spending on the flashy lights/"billet machined" look to
impress the other geeks. Hell, there are even people spending big bucks
for machined wood mice and wood computer replacement cases fabricated on
a CNC mill.

would make an interesting computer case)


It actually does. A friend made a case out of old wooden dynamite
crates. Looks pretty cool. Ill see if I can get a picture.

There are sites out there which will show the occasional "odd mod".
The dual boot system which is housed in the box for Linux and Win XP. The
Manual Typewriter. The PC in the monitor.
