When you find it, let us know 😀

Does it have to be aluminum?

The PC-7 Plus has 2x120mm fans and can be bought for $85. The PC-60 is much better constructed using thicker aluminum but has 80mm fans and costs $99.

Look to the Kingwin 424 series of cases if aluminum is your desire. W/window $90 and many nice features but it to has 80mm fans.

Do a search of this forum. Zepper has posted many reccomendation for good cheap cases.
BeanTech comes to mind iirc.

Need more info for the posters that will follow OP.

Grab one of these now! Sky Hawk MSR case - $30. free 3-day shipping! I think the remarks about flimsiness have to do with the side panels which are just flat with no stiffening and seem flimsy. But the case becomes pretty sturdy when built out and the side panels screwed down tight. Hard to beat for $30. straight up. It is pretty much the same as the one on dealsonic.com which will cost close to $50. shipped.

---------------------
The Skyhawk MSR series case that they are blowing out on dealsonic.com is very L-L like. G-Y should know that as he bought one or more... 😉 Others that look very similar are some of the SuperFlower cases, The Kingwin 424 series (also sold under the Beantech Igloo series and the Victor names with varying levels of features). ZipZoomFly has had the best selection and prices on the 424 and the Beantech/Victor versions are at computergate.com . CoolerMaster and Silverstone also have L-L looking models, but they arent necessarily cheap. The Skyhawk is the only really low priced model that I mentioned, though the Victor is at a good price for the quality you get (but I've heard that computergate's shipping charges are quite high relative to some other vendors - but not relative to what it would cost you to ship the same item from your town to a place the same distance away from you).
. And go to Directron or Newegg, Cases > Aluminum . and you'll see quite a few that look like L-L

p.s. It looks like computergate is out of the Beantech/Victor cases. Try some price search engines to see if you can find some. All computergate seems to have left is replacement side doors with windows for those cases. .bh.
