I hate to admit it but I do. It's an old Haf 912 so don't really care too much.  Might be getting a new case in the summer.

Nothing to see here - move along.

On my new case (C70 military green) I dont have any. It could totally ruin the look of it. But there are some cases where I would put them like my old case being it had a door on the front so I could hide them behind that.

I had that case and I put the cpu and gpu on top and a win7 on the front lower-right

Yeah, I just don't like the look of that personally. Just the style of the case. But to each their own. I did think of engraving the Intel and nvidia logos into the side panel window, but I still have not done that.

I don't since I think they look tacky. If I had an ultrabook or something like that then I'd put them on that if they looked cool.

I don't like them too much. I would hate to put a sticker on the front of my R4

Only two or three, and they need to not be obnoxious like the OCX SSD things but more like the Intel Nvidia and Samsung SSD logo.

 

Edit: They need to be hidden away too.

You're not even a Walrus D: WHAT IS THIS DECEIT!

 

also I don't put badges on my PC, I don't really know why O.o suppose I couldn't think of a place to put them that I would always like xD

PROFILEYEAH

What do people even put in these things?

I used to. But they drop resell value so much. I might add them to my lan setup when I make it.

Never used a case badge.

Apart from the case badge that was already on my case (cooler master)

 

I think some decals or a custom paint job with logos painted on would be cool.

I just use my AMD FX unlocked one because it goes pretty well with my red and black case design, and it is fairly small.

I remember thinking adding case badges was the coolest thing in the world. Now, I wouldn't dare mess with nice clean look.

Case badges are like neons for your 1995 civic. They're f***ing dumb.

To me it depends on where, and what case. Noctua sent me a metal case badge which I used to replace the Corsair one on the front of my C70. I think the colours look quite nice!

I was waiting for a whole month to put the intel case badge on my SG09, and I f*cked it up... it was by no means aligned to the case. I tried to do it again, but the adhesive wore off....

 

Depends on the brand for me and if the case really needs it.

I have them hidden behind the front door of my R4 on one of the 5.25" bay covers.

Same here. Don't have to look at them all the time but they are still there to show off.

I must say, I am rather pleased with the results in this thread. Stickers/badges for the most part look extremely tacky on anything. Depending on what you put them on the adhesive can ruin the finish.

I don't. For the magnetic badges I collect them like scout badges haha. Put them in a safe place and hoard'em like postage stamps.

I believe they look tacky. I put them on the back of my iPhone.

Says the guy with a Clarkson picture and an iPhone LOL.

But in all seriousness yes, I put them on. Gotta represent 'yo

I'm in the habit of using case badges, Asus RoG has some very nice case badges. I particularly like the chrome-like RoG logo and 'Republic of Gamers' which I'd stuck to my recently acquired M8. I'd also used the Intel 'Extreme' CPU badge along with a Sapphire badge. I'm looking for one more small RoG badge to add to it, and that'd be the last one......don't want to clutter things up. Below is a pic of the RoG case badge which I'd stuck on the center of the case...
