After looking at the specs and pictures of Opus Technologies MT-200 case it is so blatantly obvious that is a complete nockoff of Thermaltake VM3000A Skull. I know cases have copied it each other before, but Opus has gone to new lengths in riping off every feature and making the exact same case.

Each model is a variant of some master design, probably from the same original vendor... look at Antec, Chieftec, Chenming and Thermaltake... OR any of those all steel, 6x3.5, 4.5" cases. I'll bet all the chassis parts come off the same line and each company just makes their own bezels...

thermaltake is not an OEM. they purchased lots of their case, and named it their own. the only thing thermaltake designed in their case is the external appearance.

That basic chassis is available with lots of name on it - Athhenatech (800 series), Aspire, A GPB (800 series), even Fry's/Outpost has a customized version - one of the best looking of the bunch, IMO. It has a metallic blue/greenish front door and the titanium color with small window...
