I have 3 nice-looking stickers from the parts I recently bought, and I want your input on whether I should put them on my case. Yeah, this is kind of a stupid thread, but idk what I should do with them.

 

Also...

Would I be exiled from the pcmr?

Do they have any monetary value?

Personally I would keep the stickers down to a minimum. Also maybe not on the case. When I get my Ryzen system all ordered and put together I'll probably stick the R7 badge on the base of the monitor but that would be it.

I personally don't put stickers on any of my cases. They never go on perfectly and removing them to fix the positioning is never clean.

I personally wouldn't want them on my PC case, but I would love to put stickers all over my laptop (if I had one) just because that is something you would take with you. I don't need to identify my PC from a couple meters away :P

I don't put the stickers on my case, but if I'm fixing up a prebuilt, I'll leave the original stickers on and put the stickers for the upgrade components inside of the side panel to remind myself of the inventory.

That makes it 15% slower. Not joking.

Only 15? Phewwww. What if I put a Noctua badge on (despite having an Noctua product)?

@thegreengamers I only put the little metal "Powered by Corsair" badge on my case. I wouldn't put a lot of stuff on there personally.

I've found they don't improve the function of my pc, so.....no. I also throw away all the posters that now seem to be included with components. Unfortunately a lot of things, including the graphics in UI's, seem to be geared toward 14 year old boys these days. 

Best Excuses:

        #1(simple) "Well, I never liked that stupid thing anyway!"

        #2(complex) "Obviously there was a flaw in the material, probably due to the inadvertent introduction of contaminants during the manufacturing process."

@thegreengamers I personally don't tend to put stickers on unless they are for the theme of the case I'm working on.  For instance my current Phanteks P400S case is getting redone piece by piece to adorn my Mass Effect theme.  The only thing I've done so far is affixed my metal N7 Logo on the bottom just above my LED lights on the front panel.  Inside I am going to be powder coating several components to the red and black theme as well as use my wifes Cricket Machine to make some custom vinyls for the case to add to the accenting of it.

 

Outside of that I avoid decals of any sort....just like dealer decals on a car.  I refuse to take a car from a car lot if they put the decals on it.

This. I'd prefer a badge over a sticker, slightly more premium imo.

I put stickers on my case but its hidden away since I have a Define R5. Both of my 5.25 inch bay covers are covered with CPU stickers of almost all the CPUs and hardware I bought.

@papes Yeah it looks nice and since the case is black it blends in nicely.

I have a couple of case badges on my front panel, and one sticker on the rear panel of my Level 10 GT, but the badges are discrete (on such a busy looking case) and the sticker cant be seen at all unless I move the PC)
