get off my case

My son’s computer is complete except for the operating system, mouse and mousepad.

I was pleased this evening as I finalized the assembly of my son’s new computer. And I just couldn’t get over that lovely beige microATX case which I purchased online about four years ago for six bucks.

“Six bucks!” I crowed to my brother.

“So it only took you another $300 to make good on your fantastic savings on a six dollar computer case,” he responded without the proper enthusiasm.

“Yes. The point is, that six dollar case isn’t just sitting around doing nothing anymore. I have a sense of satisfaction that I’m making use of it.”

“And it only cost you $300.”

“Yeah.”

“The glowing blue feet are cool.”

“Yeah.”
