    Nice, I own that exact case with white corsair LL fans. Kind of forced to use the side and bottom as intake on it for proper cooling and since RGB rings are on one side with LL fans you get the ugly side. Still like it though. That artwork is nice, building wish list now.

    I'm on the fence with some of these things as though there is a part of me that wants/likes to indulge my childlike side there is another part of me that can't imagine decorating my house with video game stuff.

    It feels like a wasted effort when actual art can be used.

    Having said that, these prints are excellent. I can easily see purchasing one or two of these.

    Yeah, I can definitely see that. This is the one room in the house where I could get away with putting up game-based art, lol. My wife = not a gamer. Since it's where I do all the video stuff and all that, I decided to go for what I thought looked cool. They have everything though. If you wanted more artistic prints, you could find them for sure.

    How are the things on that wall not "actual art"? Who decides what is music and what is art?

    "on that wall..."

    As I said, they looked good, are well done and I'd consider them "art."

    But the idea of putting video game stuff on my walls feels like I'm 16 and putting pictures of girls and cars up.

    Oh sure, they are art if they affect you as "art" but I'm not having people come over and see farah fawcett posters and trans ams. And I'm not normally drawn to putting a big skyrim or Doom poster in a prominent place.

    But ... as I've said, these are done well enough that they seem to transend the awe of a teenager.

    If you feel like you want to put up a big "Master Chief" print in your living room, have at it.

    I should also add that by "real" art I also mean "real art." An actual painting or sculpture done by the artist and not a preproduction.

    While I'm not against putting a print up on the walls provided it is framed well (I have severl vintage movie posters after all) I'm more inclined to put up a work that was actually created by an artist.

    If you visit the site you will see they dont have just videogame/anime/mange stuff.  They offer various categories of art.

    Have you seen how much people are willing to pay for limited edition reprints? I bought two small canvas LE copies of Shag's Star wars Cantina scene "A Wretched Hive" for $125, turned around and ebayed one of them for $450.




    Also picked up the Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean "Skeletons and Scoundrels" canvas print and sold the smaller one for $350 (I kept the big one)




    Art is subjective, people will pay what they feel they are worth.
