Back in the late 90s I built my first computer from parts that I had purchased from a local store.

The case was a fairly generic beige tower that I didn't really think much of at the time but now I regret getting rid of it. After a couple of months of searching I managed to find an image of it online:

Is anyone here familiar with this case? Any idea who manufactured it? Got any other pictures?

Someday I'd like to try to get one again, but I suppose at this point there's probably not a lot of them floating around in the wild.

Any info would be appreciated!

It looks like a mid tower version of the full tower case listed here: https://www.anandtech.com/Show/Index/1242?cPa … =0&page=4&slug=

This Newegg listing looks like a slightly newer version though they say the manufacturer is Apex: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811154011

Pretty sure that has been discussed a while ago, few weeks. Someone was looking for the power button.
Was identified by name there, but that won't help you too much, since no one will sell them by name.
You could try ask at amibay if someone knows it and sells his... good luck!

I like jumpers.

Thanks for this. Using the his info and archive.org I was able to identify it as an Apex AT-101:

Thank you everyone for the help. I at least know what to look for now.
