Help! I need to identify this case.

[moe32898]

I work at a computer store, and a customer gave this case to me. I like it, and I want to use it, but it is missing some bay covers. It was manufactured in 2003, so this case is pretty old. Can somebody help me identify it? Maybe give suggestions on how to get some bay covers for it?

Unknown Case

This here looks like it

With a different side panel though.

Look at this page here. Looks like two of these combined with different parts from each.

Apevia

Maybe they just done their own custom window 🙂

Or this one

Looks like the one you have may be an older version of this one.

I thought at first that it was an Apevia case, but upon communicating with their service department, they claim they never had a case like this one. If I can't find out who made this case, I might just call Apevia saying I own an X-gear case and get some spare bay covers that way.

Maybe they are just mistaken, it happens.

And like I said, maybe the original owner of the case just modified it somewhat. Because it looks too similar NOT to be an Apevia case.

Actually it's a cheap generic case that was sold under several names, but it is just an early variant of several models also sold by Apevia nee Aspire. IDK who actually makes the thing.
. Look on the inside of the plastic parts and see if you can find any identifying mold marks - may be able to use those to track it down.

If you can't find the same ones, consider either replacing all of them with the same new bezels, or filling the holes with bay devices - fan controller comes to mind, and/or some sort of LCD readout.

Yeah, what zagood said. All sorts of crap available to take up the space and not very expensive. There's that lighter and ashtray thing from Tt et al., storage drawer, fan controller, cassette tape player, multifunction panels, etc. etc.
