Default what happens if you don't have space for a case?

I figured it's a waste if you have three systems, but 2 are stored in a closet because your girlfriend complains there's enough computer "junk" in your small dormroom. Perhaps she's right, but i want to put my P4 to good use anyway.

I received an old 21" CRT this week. Ever seen the huge amount of space it claims...? Remember the good old days monitors and computer components where in the same casing...? Hmmmmm.... why not throw it on top of my CRT?
