Any place for cheap mini-itx cases? - 30/09/2004 18:51

I'm looking for a mini-itx cube style computer case - like the shuttle case. I need a cube because I need to be able to use a full size pci card in it. But I can't seem to find one that isn't more expensive the the mini-itx mobo.

Does anyone know a good source for inexpensive computer cases that fit that form factor?

This is the only cube micro-ATX I know of:

Thanks guys. Those are about the same price ranges I had found previously. I suppose I could go with a slim form factor rather than a cube, too. But than I'd have to get a $20, or so, pci riser to turn the pci card 90 degrees. Either way it looks like it'll be around $100 for a case. Ugh.

Some of the cases *include* the PCI riser card as a standard included accessory.. read the fine print.
