I bought this "empty" computer case at a charity shop for $10 today. These cases were fairly common in South Africa, but I can't for the life of me remember the manufacturer's name or the model number. I suspect it's a Chenbro case of sorts, but I'm not 100% sure.

Please post some more pics, the side panels, the back, the insides, any stickers or other writings.

To me, it looks like a cheap Codegen case.
If it is one such, the PSU should have Codegen branded on it.

Having pics of, say, the side panels and the back, may help in identifying its maker, as often a single manufacturer would sell 'different' cases which actually were almost the same except maybe the front bezel.

The case has no serial numbers stamped onto it or any stickers. I did a reverse image search using Google Images and it turns out that it is a KME CX-5762.

Esquire Technologies used to sell them in South Africa around 2002-2004.

Nice detective work! 😁

What's a reverse image search btw? 😊
