9 incredible computer cases you can actually buy

There are thousands of options for cases if you ever wanted to build your own computer, or even if you want give your current pre-built computer a new look.

Some people modify, or "mod" their cases to be truly unique, but not everyone has the time or skill to make a good-looking mod. So, I went online to find nine cases you can actually buy from regular sites like Amazon or Newegg that are just unique enough that they don't necessarily need any modding.

Check out some unique and interesting cases I found.

First, let's take a look at the drab, common, boring computer case design to remind ourselves how NOT to be unique.

Dell

The Dell Inspiron is the computer I used at my very first job and I'll always associate with "starting out" in adult life.

Indeed, the Dell Inspiron is a decent, cheap computer designed purely for light-to-medium office work, and thus it doesn't need to be particularly exciting. In fact, the less distracting the better. It has a "don't look at me, get back to work" aura about it.

Once you outgrow it, you'll desire something more. The following cases might fit your bill...

Thermaltake Level 10 Titanium Edition

The Thermaltake Level 10 Titanium Edition has a "1980's vision of the future" sort of charm to it.

Price: $190

Lian Li DK-Q2

This case called the DK-Q2 made by Lian Li takes the "top" out of desktop, as the desk itself is the case.

All the parts go inside the DK-Q2 desk itself, and all the ports like USB and audio are built into the case's frame. It's super cool and could save you a lot of space, but the lack of drawers could be a problem. 

The glass top of the desk-case comes off like this so you can tinker around with your computer.
