It kinda looks like a Cooler Master Wavemaster, but not exactly. Maybe your photo is of a knockoff.

Another similar-style case is the Thermaltake Soprano.

So you don't know exacly the model?

Correct

Sad.Thank you anyway!Have a nice day!

I checked all sides of the case and the inside, but there is nowhere any indication of the brand. Looks very no-name.

I did not buy this case myself. Though, it was most likely sold in Germany.

Wait,can you make some pictures with the case with all sides and the interior?Maybe I can find someone to build from zero the case,make it 100% the same,can you make at least some pictures please?I'd appreciate that a lot!Could you also measure the case's length, width, and height to all sides? Measurements in centimeters would be very helpful, as I want to have the case recreated as accurately as possible.Oh and with the front door open where do you open that door and interact with the dvd rom to put or take off a cd please,I'd really apreciate a lot!

This looks like a (for my taste) cheap copy of WaveMaster, but you really want it so much, try Kleinanzeigen or something along like that.

I was bored so I did some digging using wayback machine. This case was used as the thumbnail for the "Other Towers" category on caseking.de starting in late November 2005. Unfortunately, clicking into that category brought me to August 2006 at the earliest. The crawler did not index that page until then, and by then, that case was long gone. Someone with more skills and patience may be able to find a backdoor way to get to the actual product page, or maybe the OP can contact caseking.de to see if they still have the product page in their archives.

*EDIT* I did inspect the filename of the thumbnail, but unfortunately it was a generic category name, not a clue into the make or model of the case.

I fed the pictures elianda provided to Google Gemini, along with the context of time period and location, and the fact that it is a clone (not the Cooler Master Wave Master that AI always wants me to believe).

It seems to think that this case is the following:

"In Europe between late 2005 and mid-2006, JNC sold this exact case shell with the wavy plastic front door through regional white-label brands. You will find this exact layout cataloged as:
- JNC HJA-70E / JNC 43xx "Wave" Series (Sold directly under the JNC or Rulite banner in Eastern Europe).
- Eurocase / KME Re-badges: Eurocase heavily imported JNC frameworks into Germany and Central Europe, matching this exact combination of a plastic "premium clone" front panel attached to a lightweight JNC steel frame."

Hope this helps.
