Reuse computer case

[PeteRoy]

Have you ever upgraded the entire computer except you reused the same case you had with your previous computer?

If so, who has reused his computer case the most times and what case was it that it was so good for the job?

Of Course some of us have, Back in the day (90's) I used to reuse my full tower around
8-10 times before I switched over from a beige case to black. Back before the internet in Computer Shopper Mag days
it was a fortune to ship a steel case and your case could last years if it didnt bother you once it started to 'yellow' a bit 😎

I am on my 3rd build on my antec 180 series case and just past down any old parts
to any of my 3 antec 300 systems.

Of course, for those of us who aim to maximize our TCO.

I still use an Antec SX-840 I bought in 2000, and modded in 2001. I'll keep using it as long as ATX remains the form factor. It's a tank at almost 30 lbs. empty, but new cases seem very cheaply built by comparison.
