I have this case with a system that came from the trash.
Inside it was a Fastfame 6VHF along with a 20GB Maxtor HDD,a S3 Trio 3d\2x 8MB,Realtek 8139C NIC,a Samsung CD-ROM,a floppy drive and a Duron 1.3GHz CPU,but that's not the point right now.

Anyways,here's a picture of it:

This is the case. Ignore the red video card in the pic,it's a FX5200 128MB that I gave to a friend who will give me a ASUS Radeon HD3450 in place.

Also,while at it,can anybody recommend me what rig should I put in it? It must not be Socket 370.

Why are you looking for that ugly computercase?

~ At least it can do black and white~

Because I like it? (sans that dark color at the bottom but a bit of spray paint can do)

Also it's my only beige case in the house.

To me it looks a lot like an AOpen Q45-series case.

Doesn't seem like AOpen. I just checked and AOpen uses a different rear fan grill.

Anybody else got an idea what manufacturer would it be?

I have a case labelled Taurus that has a similar USB cover at the base of the fascia. Google search turns up nothing useful though. Maybe if you take the fascia off the name will be stamped on it or the case? It looks like a very generic case though so it could be unidentifiable. May I ask why the manufacturer is important information?

Could you please take a couple more pics from it's back and one from the side with it's side panel installed?
I've found that often a manufacturer would use the same chassis but a different front bezel, it would be nice if we found the manufacturer which would help narrow things down 😀

Edit: I checked all my own cases and none seem to have the same backside (I already knew I didn't have any case with the same bezel)

The side panel is just a oval embossed over it with small holes drilled for airflow (from the factory of course)

Here's a pic of it with the side panel.
