We've come a long way from the days of ugly beige towers that would demand a sacrifice of blood (usually from sharp corners) in exchange for housing your PC parts. Today's cases are much better looking, and also far more flexible, in terms of what parts they can accommodate. Case in point (literally) is Corsair's new...
