Help me find the MFR of this case!

[bluemax]

I found THIS super little microATX jobbie and I want to know full details before ordering one.
I'm trying to find the MFR's site on it... I'm not having any luck yet. Anyone give me a hand?
Nice case, eh?

There's a bigger picture of it in THIS forum....

EDIT:
Anyone else think it might might be the Enermax cs-10073? Any reviews of it out there? I'm not finding any...

Have you emailed them (Anitec) and asked?

I can't verify it, but it looks like an InWin.

Yeah, but it could be a while before a reply... who knows? Was hoping to do some research until then, and in case they have no idea. (That one I hear a lot...)

You were looking at the blue InWin guy. That was my choice until I saw that cool-looking GREY case further up! Yummy!

I'd try to find more detailed pics. There's lotsa cases out there that have nice facades, pretty on the outside, a mess on the inside. I wouldn't buy something based on a tiny jpg like the one on that site. Did you look to see if there was something similar at NE or Directron?

This Enermax might be it.....

Yes.... yes I think it is...... It's got the same power supply and drive bay specs... (2 HDD bays is a little unusual for a micro case...)

I hope so, Enermax is a good brand!

And I know what you mean Chiz! I'm NOT going to ever buy a POS case again... I'm checking into it before buying.

Yeah, that looks like it might be a match. Enermax puts out pretty good quality cases, but I'm sure its just a rebranded "XYZ" with features added in by Enermax. That thing is tiny though, it'll be a tight fit for most systems. Also, I'm wondering if that drive rack is removeable. If not, it could be a PITA. Also looks like any optical drives will be hovering over your mainboard, making things tighter once you add in wires.

Unless you really need portability or space is a major issue, I'd go with a standard mid-tower; $79 quoted at that first link certainly isn't inexpensive; there's some great mid-towers out there for a bit more and are a lot nicer. I got my PC-65 (many others here did as well) for $109, ~$124 shipped about a month ago. Ate $20 restocking/shipping on a crappy aluminum Skyhawk that was only $40 cheaper.

Trust me, micro is what I'm after. I'll be hauling this guy around maybe once a month or more. If I had a car I'd just lug a tower, but I'll admit, I just like the look of the micro setups.

This guy looks like my winner! Checking now for reviews so I don't get a super-loud PSU or other nasty surprises....

Shop around too...$79 for that is a bit too much IMO. Try pricegrabber and also follow any links to resellers from Enermax's site.

You might not have noticed, but those are Canadian buckazoids. That's a pretty good deal.

The sellers wrote me back with pretty much:

"uhhh.. I dunno. There's no web page for this case. Yeah.... no page."

Anyone else know better?

Wow look @ that.......what service. You should write back telling them they've lost a sale for their lack of enthusiasm and absolute ZERO helpfulness.

Good point. And then I can actually look for that ACTUAL Enermax brand case. No worries then!
The hard part is finding good stuff like that in Canada.
