I need to transfer my build into a new PC case. It's an ATX motherboard so thats not an issue. What is an issue it I need a case with at least 3 5.25 slots and 1 3.5 floppy slot. I found a Rosewill case that fits the bill but it's black and all of my drives are beige.

Any suggestions? The case does not need to be period (Y2K-ish) correct but it would be nice. Beige is a huge plus.

Depends where you are. Here's a UK link that includes a few cases that match your specs (both desktop and tower):

Thanks for the clarifying question. I'm in the USA. I see a couple of cases there I really like a lot... I wonder how much shipping would be...

Nice ! The model ECE4252 in full beige reminds me of some of the 1990's mid-tower cases.

Shipping is near double the cost of the case. I do love that ECE4252 as well though...

A few here in USA: Foxconn AEI-AP4F8 Beige Steel ATX Mid Tower $80 w/shipping, Newegg. All other good beige are out of stock.
Amazon does not have any that I could find for under $100 and all the good one are also out-of-stock.

Roseville case that fits the bill but it's black and all of my drives are beige.

I see a white door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Finding anything beige these days is going to be close to impossible.

I find mATX cases seem to be configured more with 5.25 and floppy drives...I have this one but only 2 5.25 drive bays. And finding 3.5in5.25 caddies is easy and opens up the range of cases, I would look at that approach. I got this one for a DOS machine, quite happy with it:

As they include weights in their specs, I can get you shipping prices that may be cheaper than shipping direct, and help with forwarding if you need it.
