What are those little 1" x 1" clear lens-like stickers that are put on
PC cases called?

I see that they're sometimes called badges, but I'm having trouble
finding an inexpensive source for them. Any ideas where I can get a
couple of dozen of them on the cheap?

I should clarify that I'm looking for blank/clear ones.

I've found plenty of manufacturers of custom "domed decals" or "case
badges," but I want ones that I can customize myself.

Have you thought about using some kind of adhesive paper that will feed
through your printer?

Yeah, but that stuff looks a bit cheesy. Ultimately, I guess my vanity
does not surpass my frugality.

Non-cheesy pro case badges have the image layer bonded to
the clear top layer. Anything DIY won't look nearly as good
as that. Your best bet for a pro looking case badge for
cheap is to find some company in the orient to do it for
lowest cost, since they are so small that a quantity
shouldn't have substantial shipping costs.

I found a guy that was willing to do about 50 for a little bit more than
$1/badge, but I ultimately decided against it. Several of the last
machines I've built uses the Antec Three Hundred, and a badge does not
really work on that case.
