    The only people who buy computer components are those who already know what they want.

    And how many stores actually sell motherboards anyway? Very, very few people will ever even see a motherboard box...

    I am one of them. Every time I do a major upgrade of my computer, I buy the components individually.

    So... are you agreeing or disagreeing?

    Yeah, they're bland but...who cares?

    You get the components, install them, and then throw the boxes away.

    Well I THOUGHT we'd have a funny conversation about how stupid looking we thought the cases were, but I GUESS I WAS WRONG! Didn't we used to have entire threads about game box art?
