What do you do with your case stickers?

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.
 
I bought my Meshify used and it was caked in badges. The former owner took many prides in his system. I took them off with a hair dryer. I used to display badges too, now I don't.
 
They stay with the packaging. I'm 45, stickers seem a little... pointless.
 
Having a collection of stickets that arent stuck to anything is a lot cooler than having a case with 1500 random bits of company logo stuck to your rig.


Besides, it can get a bit crazy:

*thankfully not mine!
 
I use most of them. Have them on several builds. Some of them have a nice metallic surface as stickers from Corsair and Noctua.
 
Only one i kept and still use is the Noctua one i got with my nh-D14 just because it's metal and chunky
 
straight to the garbage can typically.
 
They go on the closet door of my office.

I like the clean basic look. Stickers just make a case look gaudy imo. My only weakness is that I like my case fans to have blue LEDs. My favorite color for light decoration since childhood with blue bulbs on the Christmas Tree and porch.
 
@sneekypeet I always thought the stickers were pretty dumb... Thanks for proving me wrong.
 
I do have Marilyn Monroe with sleeves flashing the Sign of the horns on my glass panel near the bottom. My sister gave it to me and I thought it was cool, so I trimmed it and slapped it on. All of my cases had custom stickers like you guys, not so many with manufacturers badgeing.

I don't mind the metal ones I stick them on my test chair :)
 
I just put them all on my benchtable. Gives it a somewhat unique look and I can keep track of what hardware I used in the past. Since I sell most of my stuff after a while, I can keep the badges to remind me.
 
I stick em to the fridge. When I run out of room then I go for the nearest appliance, even if it's the TV. I'm a menace: I believe there's the remains of one "Xeon Inside!" sticker in the dried husk of our Chevy Astro van in the driveway to this very day that Dad never could quite scrape off the side window... I believe at the time I told him it would "make his rolling refrigerator faster."

My folks hate me.

Stick almost every one to my gaming PC (of course this HTPC has few!) :)

I'm almost surprised a few of those stickers don't declare war on each other.

HTPC has AMD FX & 7th gen i5 stickers, it's the same situation there too.
 
Black Pelicans look really naked if you don't throw stickers at them, and the Tan and Olive 1510s were out of stock in spring 2015, so:

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
 
That is the whole point of the stickers to put them on the case! I have every components sticker on my case! MB/CPU/Ram /Video card and even the HSF sticker And I'm 53!
 
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.
