I have one very similar sitting in my garage waiting to go to the recyclers.. I can when I get home.

Looks like an old Superflower or Xoxide case.

EDIT: Leaning towards Xoxide: http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/xoxide_x450/

I believe those bubbly looking vertical tubes light up: http://www.xoxide.com/x-purity-exe-edition.html

I think its an AEROCOOL CASE.. But i dont know which type it is.. I guess its from the 2002-2004 period when cases came circus like.

Something like this:

It's likely an older Apevia (Robin4 is right on the age), it may have been sold through Xoxide (as far as I know Xoxide has never built their own cases, but they do lend their name as a "house brand" to some cases they sell, especially if the case is customized for them). The "tubes" are just plastic, and they do light up. The "logo" on the bottom says USB, and that's a door that opens and exposes USB ports. 😊

I do not, unfortunately, remember the exact model name. As an Apevia it will be X-[something] S (S for silver).

There is a chance that it's a Logisys knock-off too. It's also very likely not aluminum, or at least not entirely aluminum - the front is plastic, and the side panels may be aluminum but are likely steel. These were not high end cases when they were new, and were relatively common among computer enthusiasts, so finding something that looks roughly similar shouldn't be too hard.

I have one like that, but had a motorized front door on it, that I got so annoyed at I ripped it off and removed the motor, which had a 20-pin pass through to atx, probably ran off 12v why they used the atx connector instead of a molex was strange.
Its fully alum, and cost like 30$ if I remember off newegg.
Heres the old link Eagletech make.

It popped up on the local Craigslist, so I figured as much 😁 I just wondered what kind of case it was. The Apevia / Xoxide suggestions seem to be dead on, but I'm having trouble tracking down the exact model as well.

There's also an Antec Super Lanboy on Craigslist for $20 at the moment. Heck of a deal, but I can't think of a compelling reason to buy it...

How odd... the side panel is a dead-on match, but the front panel is significantly different. Maybe the unit in my picture is a frankencase.

Here's some pix of my "Xoxide X450" case and setup in early 2003 - pretty close.

And yes, I saved the receipt. 😀

I have a case similar to that I just picked up last week only my side panel is different.

Completely off topic, but I've seen the subject case somewhere around socket 478 era. There was a girl who lived upstairs in the same building, she had it, with those silly blue light tubes on each side. It also came with a CD-ROM faceplate that flips when you open the drive bay.

The thing is, I completely hated that PC. The girl's mother and my mom were friends and the girl seemed to like me, so she kept asking me to setup something or repair something that was not broken in the first place all the time. I could not say no without offending them. Later I finnished school and entered the university, I took a lot of courses and barely had time for random fixes, that's when my Mom started to say something like "He's not home yet" or "He's got a lot of homework to do" until they stopped calling.
