To case or not to case

Whether tis nobler in the mind to put this crap in a box, or save some dough by leaving it out. What do you guys think? Should I get rid of my HAF, or keep it? I like the fact that people can't steal my rig because they would need a crane to do so, but I also like money.

I ran caseless for a while, and it was not an overall positive experience. The computer was louder because there was no case to dampen the noise, it got dusty very frequently, and was more prone to damage due to it being exposed. Thus, I would suggest that you keep the case, but if you need the money you could sell the HAF and pick up a cheaper case, such as the Centurion 590
I agree with mmx+. If you need money, sell your HAF and get a cheaper case. I would not run caseless unless it was necessary. It's also hard to move a caseless computer. If you don't care about the money and just like the "caseless look" you could go for a "torture rack".
Well, I was just wondering about going caseless. I mean I have an extra case here, a cooler master elite 330, which will fit all of my stuff. That's not the issue at hand. I'm not too worried about dust as i'm on water.

Hate to tell you this, but you still get dust. You could be a 100 miles from land...you still get dust.

"on water" means he's using water cooling.
