Convincing case

Entrepreneur, May, 2005 by Gisela M. Pedroza

Make your computer an eye-catching piece of art with a new case from Computer Choppers, a company that creates far-out designs using acrylic and fiberglass. Each case is custom-designed and built to your specifications. Depending on case design and the type of computer hardware needed (CPU, hard drive, memory and drives), case prices can range from $500 to $2,500 or more.

At $800, the wall-mountable Spider model features legs that light up with LEDs and fangs that serve as a power switch and an eject button. Computer Choppers can even design diamond-encrusted cases, if you're so inclined--and if your pocketbook can handle it.
