Finding them clean is the trick - I must have gone through 20+ cases over the years, only keeping the best of them. They haven't yellowed since I've owned them (~5 years or so); my theory is that some cases have more flame retardend in them than others. How they're stored is obviously also a factor - I try to keep mine out of direct sun.

I've tried to restore cases over the years too but it's never been worth the effort - retro brighting plastic, painting metal work. I'm never happy with the result.

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Im going to attempt this on my Dell optiplex gs+ case http://www.exisle.net/mb/index.php?/topic/596 … nent-after-all/
If it dosnt brighten the way i would like then im going to do several coats of spray paint to match its original look and then clear coat it.
