Cyn/Speed-
I like to customize my computer to BE more clean looking. I have a nice, simple aluminum case and want to make aluminum faceplates for my optical drives and floppy so they match. I'm not a fan of cut windows (though my case has one by default, which isn't terrible looking) and neon lights. Some modding isn't for aesthetics at all. I'm looking to move to a water cooled system, both for performance and for longevity of the system. Unless you open the case, you'll never know it was there.

Doesn't that hurt like a bi&ch? :-p
At any rate, I don't think that customization or modding is inherently bad. What if you had a mark (or symbol) that you used to assure something was yours? Should you not place it on objects you own? Should you to protect it (like an Xbox at a LAN gaming party)? I guess my question to Cyn is... what's WRONG with customizing everything and anything? I'm a middle-of-the-roader on this topic I suppose. But I do see value in it for many, and it interests me to the degree that I like to see what other people do to their belongings.
