I know a lot of you have differing opinions on what the perfect build should be but lets face it, the choice of case is a major component of any ultimate build and its choosing should never be taken lightly. I myself prefer mostly quality, beige, thick steel, OEM type cases. I think they are simple, elegant, functional and have an understated sexiness about them. I occasionally venture outside of my trusted beige OEM cases in a similar way that I sometimes have chocolate ice cream instead of my more preferred vanilla. This is the case that truly deserves an ultimate build! So, what parts would you stuff in this box?

What would really be funny is if you ended up putting the most powerful and expensive PC parts into that case and turned it into a gaming beast, noone would ever suspect. Oh the ironic goodness.

as far as wtf case designs go, that isn't that bad, be ashame to spoil his smile by putting something in a 5.25 bay though.
In keeping with your chocolate vs Vanilla choice, Something that's interesting but not your preferred choice?
E.g. I prefer Intel & NVidia so building a AMD/ATI PC running WinME, an OS I would never install usally

I would not even build anything into that case. Don't like it....
If I had to, I would do a pure 2005 Socket-478 P4-Build.

Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....

I'd shove a decent AMD system there (with a floppy controller) and a GTX 750. Then install Windows 10 and change the default color scheme and make it match the cat's shade of yellow, with a wallpaper about kitties. Then all one needs is a matching monitor. Failing that I'd just get a beige CRT and cover it with cat stickers.

Wonder if you can convert that cat case into a cat trap? Seems like the only practical use and the only way to make it redeem itself for it's blot on the history of mankind.

As we seem to be posting the Toys-R-Us case collection, well, I could think of some stuff which meets the requirements, but I'd probably piss everyone off if I posted it.

@tayyare; I grabbed a Cosmos out of someones trunk - I asked first this time, they were taking it to the dump and just let me walk away with it - I plan on using it for my new build. Got a free Radeon 2600XT with it too... Might as well have come with a bag of garbage in it or something for all the good that will be, it could have had spiders in it, I like spiders so that would have been favorable.
