Urox's Journal: Mom's got a mod case

My mother, over 50 years in age, software engineer from day 1 at a job, has a plexiglas case with blue neon lighting.

When I first saw mod cases, I thought, "Cool!".. Then I realized how odd they would look in places not completely done in the same type of motif. And it certainly looks odd on my parents thick hardwood table with various other computer miscelania scattered around it.

My mother has always been getting the 2nd best just after it was marked down due to new things coming out and then upgraded her purchases to top of the line once I was employed and out of the house. Part of it is because she is a gadget geek. Another part I'm sure was because my Dad, 3 years her senior, was not getting a high enough refresh rate on his FPSes. I never suspected my mom would go for something flashy like a modded case. Then again, I never thought my dad would get into FPSes when I watched him struggle with jumping in the learning part of Halo for a month.
