What do you do with your case stickers?

My laptop still has the sticker you're supposed to tear off that says the model and CPU/graphics/memory/storage specs. It helps remind me exactly what I have without having to dig for the information, so that's why I haven't removed it.

Stickers were a thing on PC builds back in early 2000s..nowadays its all about flashy lights, AIO on any CPU and clean exterior case.

Yeah I noticed this trend . I wonder why because when my computer is on I really do not want to see it as much as the GAME I am getting killed in. Know what I mean?
Stickers are not a distration yet just look at the rainbow lits some of you guys put in your systems man makes me wounder are you guys high? Like on acid not weed LOL. Some of the cases you guys build makes the 60' and LSD laced 70's look like a a black light poster in comparison!

I stick them on Raspberry Pi & Rock64 cases.

I like the irony.
 
Forehead? Forehead.

I collect them in one of many drawers, lose them, forget about them, find them later. It's a cycle.
 
If they are nice and small I stick them on the case or on laptop. Not every single one of them, only the most important ones and usually 2 or at most 3 stickers. I put one Xeon sticker on my previous smartphone, one i5 also on one of my previous smartphones, one Atom on Casio calculator... I still have Core 2 Extreme (black one), Core i7 (Nehalem, black one), Core i7 (Sandy/Ivy blue and white), Core i5 (Sandy/Ivy), Xeon (Broadwell/Skylake), Windows 7 and possibly few more from different hardware that are either too big or ugly to stick them anywhere.
 
Leave them in the box, same with posters (yeah, I'm looking at you EVGA).
 
@op Pass them a mate in the hope I can laugh at him a week later for sticking them on his pc's window, mine are tastefully placed:):D

I do stick tons of stickers on my toolbox though.
 
I leave them in the box and they get resold to the next owner when I upgrade in a few years.

I built a system a few months ago, and the case stickers are just sitting on my desk. Trying to decide if I want to apply them somewhere.

It got me wondering, what does everyone else do with their case stickers when they get them? I still have an Athlon 64 sticker stuck on an old craftsman toolbox. Had I stuck it on the case I had at the time, it would be long gone by now.

Gday dude im right into case badges. ever since I built my first rig P 600 Voodoo 3 etc Putting the badge on after everything is working and complete is Very Important . Before posting this I realised i
didnt get a Power by Asus Badge in my new X570 Prime Pro package ....:mad: Are they maybe not giving them anymore I wonder ? Yet my nephew got a hole sheet of ROG Stickers ( in my opinion they are average ) Seeing you don't get a badge with GPU cards :mad: I got 1 from his massive sheet for my case since i have the ROG 5700x
On a lighter note I try too place them in a spot like a car badge would be lol When I change Components or case I use a Razor blade to remove them and place them on double sided tape for further use :D

As long as 50 year olds are all over things like RGB, a Waifu and Donald Duck, surely you can use some stickers... :D

meh im 45 too, zero stickers here or RGB, and that counts for my nxt build also.
 
I used to put them in the front panel when I was a teen. These days I just leave them in the box they came in.

Well, on cars performance parts stickers are worth 15hp apiece, so it's probably good for another 10 points of IPC on computers, right?

:D

I put all the car part stickers on one of my toolboxes. I have too many Summit Racing stickers though.

As far as the PC stickers go they stay in the box and I generally sell used PC parts once I have no use for them so it becomes someone else's dilemma. I also don't like LEDs at all and want my case, monitor, etc to emit zero LED light within reason. Electrical tape gets rid of lights I cannot unplug. Unfortunately my mouse has an LED emitting mouse wheel but I live with it.
 
put them on my case in random fashion.


they would look nice in lancool 2

side of my desk and had some on tha side of my case.. unfortunitly they went when i replaced it.. gotta start all over again... RIP my ryzen 5 and 7 stickers >.>
 
Here is my Ryzen 3 1300X system I put it in here. :roll: :laugh:

I leave them in the box. I never put any stickers anywhere on my computer. I like a clean looking case, and the stickers distract from that.
 
On my test bench is where I put the stickers. I've never put stickers on a case.
 
The only sticker I apply on customer machines is the one for the CPU (AMD or Intel) like you'd find on virtually any OEM system. My own machines have no stickers because what's in the case is subject to change. GPU, PSU, sound card, motherboard, etc. stickers stay in the box.

So much for your secret identity. The glossy finish strikes again.

I stopped applying stickers to my cases or anywhere else a long time ago. I did stick the Ryzen 5 sticker that came with the 2600X on the CyberPowerPC branded Phantek case when I did a swap out of components for my niece.

Never owned a FX heater but having a sticker isn't bad :D I'd love to have the old Core i7 sticker there. HyperX sticker at least has a purpose, since it has two 2x4GB kits of HyperX DDR3-1600 :)

this man gets it. i'm 30, been building since i was 14 for myself and as a side business. I used a sticker only 1 time, to cover up a hole i accidentally drilled in the wrong place. they either sit in the box or get thrown out.
 
I stick em on my tool and parts boxes. As you can see I am found of GSkill and Intel, lol.
