I voted for the wall-mounted case because I've been thinking about doing the same (I'm just too lazy, unskilled, and lazy). Modded or not, a CPU box on the floor/desk gets in the way somehow (mine are all full of GNU stickers just to cheer me up - I don't get visits so propaganda is, for once, no reason). So I guess I'm supportively jealous of the beautiful realisation of a good idea!

I don't mean to offend you, but d'you not have a spell checker for your browser? I do apologise if I've offended but I'm a spelling and grammar Nazi.
no offence taken as long as pepole can understand wot i write its good enuf for me i could spend more time using google to spell or a spellcheker but if pepole allredy understand then im wasting my time
Jipa i dident mean in eney way a "slandered case mod" was **** or eney thing im just not interested in them , i wont to see original ideas , innovative
First, bfelda considered context in his design from the start, something few scratch builders seem to take seriously. Simply put, I take context to mean the environment in which something is situated, and what's important here is how the case looks in relation to its environment (and vice versa).
It's the form of the piece that works so well contextually; the circular shape, its diameter, and its depth of protrusion is aesthetically stimulating not necessarily in and of itself, but owing to its position on the wall and vis-à-vis the TV. My taste would have the surface of the case looking more metallic like one of his pre-production renders, although this approach might not work so well with the light browns in some of his furniture.
Second, he made visual context--the wall--a physical part of the case. Integration of case and environment tends to excite me, especially when it is so fluid. Well done, sir.
Meaning no disrespect to any of the modders up for motm - I just can't see voting for an incomplete case. So as I see it there are only two cases that are vote-able, one a very clean mod and the other a scratch build, two different categories and if I got to vote on categories then each of these would get my vote.
I look forward to the incomplete builds getting completed, cause then I am going to have a hard time deciding as I really like them all...
No disrespect to Bit-tech (you guys rock and always have) but you should change the rules. imho

I totally agree, +1 to pure, absolutely fabulous.
