Techopedia Explains Case Modification

Different types of case modification are done for different
purposes. Some types of case modification involve adding lights and/or sound

blinking lights or sounds. Many kinds of aesthetic case modding involve making
a computer case look modern or futuristic, or otherwise providing some sort of
interesting aesthetic result, for example, an exterior bamboo case or a case
that puts the computer inside some other kind of modern appliance. Peripheral case modding also exists, which involves making headsets, keyboards, mice and
