6 cases,
1 running computer has both sides on it.
1 extra case still in box has both sides on it. (I think)

3 working computers have right side on, left side off :rolleyes:
1 working system has NO sides.

Installing lights in kids computer, changing hardrives in wifes computer, my Main box I am installing and swapping cd burners and DVD burners, testing rig at the office I am swapping all types of things and hardrives all the time but I think it has 2 sides somewhere.

My main rig at office is sitting under the desk and it does have both sides on it (several days now) but left side will be removed soon to install a DVD burner and new ram, who knows after that?

I like to have mine on. Looks tacky with them off. I'll leave them off for a few days while I'm setting up a new hardware config and detailing the wiring, but ultimately the plan is always to end up with them back on.

Case has clear sides and clear top...if I'm going to spend good money on this thing, and it burns up...I want to at least be entertained by watching the smoke and sparks.

What are these "case sides" you speak of ? You mean you're supposed to put the side panel back on ?? :D

My case came with a window. Its a lanboy2 if anyone wants to trade their none windowed side with me I would appreciate it. I hate windows, they seem like stupid things to put in computer cases.

Ok.. 2 PC's..

#1.. Antec Sonata Case.. Missing Left Panel.. it's here.. under the desk.. but. well. uhhh it's not on the box.. it's my work box. it holds alot of HD's.. and other crap.. but yeah no side..

#2.. Antec Super Lanboy.. side has factory window and for the most part.. I keep it on.. and keep the system sealed up.. cooling works best with the 120 on the front sucking and the rear 120 blowing out..

Laptop.. is.. a laptop.. so no mods there.. unless you count the custom vinyal decal I had made..

Wife's box. Dell.. no mods.. all sides on.. I don't touch it.. she likes it like that.

Just because I am an a$$hole.. doesn't mean I don't care..
