Hi guys,

You who are experts in the subject, have any of you seen this chassis which is probably from the late 90s or early 00s? Could it even be that any of you have or know someone who has one?

I've been frantically searching for it for quite some time now. I know they come in different colors on the strips.

If I had to guess, it's probably an unbranded chassis, probably made in Taiwan or somewhere else in Asia. Where it was sold to various suppliers who put their own logos on it.

While I've not seen this exact design before, it screams early 2000s to me.

In the 90s the beige box reigned supreme, but around 2001-2002, beige with added splashes of colour started appearing - like the blue accents on this machine. By 2003 the transition away from beige was well underway.

The AT version was largely popular in Romania (notably sold with an AGER badge, albeit it's said that unbranded ones exist too) but so far I haven't encountered any ATX versions locally, despite knowing they exist.

Oh, interesting. Do you have any idea where I can get one today?
