I have no idea what you mean by sleeper PC. Which cases are you looking at that look gamery?

Hi. I'd like to build a sleeper PC, but there's one problem: I can't seem to find any ITX cases that don't look like a gaming PC.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

What do you think about a case that looks like an Xbox One?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

What exactly is meant by "looks like a gaming PC"? I just did a build in an EVGA Hadron Air, a very small, very sleek but understated case, no flashing lights, chrome bits, or weird aggressive lines. It does have a window but that could always be tinted or blacked out if that were a problem. A little cramped inside, but working well so far for my 6700k and GTX 1070, might be worth a look. Also the Ncase M1 is quite a stunner but a bit on the pricey side.

I don't understand the concept of sleeper PCs. 

 

The point of a, "Sleeper" in the automotive scene is to take a car that people are familiar with and something that looks unassuming, and make it into a beast.

 

In my opinion, ANY ITX case already looks custom, and thus disqualifies it from being a sleeper. If we're just talking about unassuming, then there are tons out there.

 

This guy right here is pretty neat. Anybody not terribly familiar with computers would think it was just a speaker or something, not a computer.

sleeper pc as your trying to sleep inside the pc or use it as a pillow?

A 'sleeper' is something that looks like it isn't. IE: a shitty looking car that has great hardware under the hood, a bland looking pc that has great specs on the inside, etc.
