I put a Newegg sticker on my case. And I have a "Hydrocarbon Powered Eco-Vehicle" sticker on my car. You know, because it burns hydrocarbons, and it's good for the Economy.

The only stickers I have aren't worth putting on. While the Pentium E6300 I have in my rig is good enough for what I need (especially since it's OC'ed to 3.6 GHz), I figured no one would look at a "Pentium Inside" sticker and be remotely impressed. The Arctic Cooling sticker I could care less about (although the Freezer 7 does its job very well). Also, the Antec 300 doesn't really have much space on the front to put stickers, as it's mainly covered in mesh. I thought stickers would make the case look worse.

I did laugh at my roommate's take on stickers, however. He had a friend build a computer for him and it has a Q9400 in it. He wanted to put a Celeron sticker on the front of his case so that people would be very confused as to why he was advertising the fact that he supposedly had a really weak processor.

"Stickers? We Don't need no stinkin stickers."

I love 'em. And I love to put different ones where they shouldn't be. I have the I-Series/AS400 metal logo on the side of my PC.

For me, finally putting stickers on my case was like tatooing a girl's name on you; it automatically dooms the relationship for failure. Within 2 days of putting the AMD 64 X2 and Asus stickers on my case, my mobo went bad, and my remaining hard drive died. Luckily, the hard drive died a long, drawn out, c-movie actor type of death, so I had time to backup the essentials before it was lain to rest. No more case tatoos/stickers for me.

Hehe....two Corsair stickers an EVGA one, and an XFX one on the same case. Lost my Intel one :'( I put one of the Apple stickers from my iPod on the top of an older case just for kicks. (Not a hackintosh either) If I keep this case for long enough (CM HAF932) I hope to fill up both sides of the chassis top ^_^ 6 more to go with even spacing :p

The only sticker I refuse to use it the Vista one with the key because it's ugly and just reminds me of what I put up with XD

My first car had a bumper sticker on the back which read "Don't tailgate me or I'll flick a booger on your windshield"

I also had a door mat once that said "Wipe your bloody feet"

I always put my stickers on my computer. It would not work without them. Also, the more I put on there the faster it goes. ;)

I see no reason to be a free advertisement for any company. Now, if they want to pay me, then that's different...

So, no stickers or decals on my PC, no t-shirts with logos, no running shoes with logos. Give me a free pair of Adidas runners (or Nike, New Balance et. al) and I'll wear them. Give me a free CPU, and my pc will wear that logo.

A friend of mine forced her GF to wear a Tux tattoo (linux penguin) on her ass.


Does that count as sticker?


On my side, I only have a "140 W Support " sticker on my case. It came with my ASUS M3N78 Pro.

I remove the badges from everything... save my XBR, where I turn the illuminated "SONY" off in the setup menu. Hell, even my Benz doesn't have any badges. I even removed the hood ornament, lol.

On my most recent build (Antec 902 case) I have all of the brand stickers lined up vertically to the right of the case window. I figure that's the gaudy, nerdy part of the case anyways, I may as well complete the look.
