It's just easier.  Did you really decase your Mac just to put it in your cabinet?  Also, when upgrading/replacing my desktop computers, I usually rotate the lowest end one from my desktop to the MAME cab.  I've never had any issues with heating...so other than cooling, what is the benefit?  Just seems like more work, and less flexibility when you want to replace something or need to work on it.

Yes I did. Do you find this to be suprising? It suprises me that someone would actually purchase a new case, install a system in it and then set it in the bottom of the cab.

Well as I mentioned, I buy the new computer for my desktop and move the oldest remaining desktop to the mame cab.  So the case is really for the new desktop, but eventually ends up in the cabinet (or for someone in my family) when it's the oldest.  So is there any other benefit to removing the case besides cooling?  I'm honestly curious.  If you weren't having cooling issues and this is a normal sized cabinet, then yeah I'd be surprised you would go through the trouble to remove the already existing case and screw the motherboard into your cabinet.

Yeah, how does $5.99 sound?  I picked one of these up recently...

Yeah, I know.  It's orange.  But it certainly is cheap.

It's not a great case, but I've definitely seen worse.

I like having a cased computer inside my cabinet.  It helps to deflect the woodchips and dust when I stick my drill inside the cabinet to make some holes for a random upgrade.   :banghead:
