Hey guys, I have been looking to recreate my very first bought PC. I have all the internal components but am missing an original Tiger Direct case. The case has a Tiger Direct painted plastic logo, 4 indicator lights (HDD, power, etc). I bought they system as a kid in 1999 for $999. I have been scouring Ebay and other sites for years without any luck. If anyone has anything salvageable they know of or want to sell please post here. I appreciate it.

After looking at the catalog I noticed that almost every Tiger Direct system had that case. I still can't seem to find anything online that I could purchase that matches it....

There is a recent listing for a tiger direct PC on ebay in "ended" status - That means it may have sold or the listing may have run out of time and they haven't re-listed it yet

https://www.ebay.com/itm/387875945107

Contact the seller and see if they still have it available

NeoG, thanks for the heads up! I've contacted the seller. I'll keep my eyes open for more of these on Ebay!

Another lead, this reddit user built a sleeper PC in a tiger case 6 years ago. If they are over the sleeper PC thing they may be willing to sell or trade the case. They were still active as of a year ago.
