I'd like some more info on a case

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=11-125-262&DEPA=0

Is an example. I really like these cases, but all the cheap ones I find have windows. Where can I get a cheap one with a solid side?

Dunno who was the original maker is but, Chenming (Aluminum Silver Dragon is what I have), Chieftec, Raidmax, Elements and most likely some others all sell this case under thier own brand. It is usually called a Dragon Case, the side window is an option, you should be able to get it with or w/o the window if'n thats what you want.
Try http://www.directron.com/da01sld.htmlfor starters.

It's either a Chenbro or Antec (don't remember) original design that is liscensed to other manufacturers. There's quite a few versions of it on Newegg, most of which had no window the last time I looked.

i believe it was chenming, then everyone copied them

go to directron thier fairly cheap thier and you don't need the window.

or better yet get a silverone with a window and i'll trade you my windowless side

Closest to the right answer. Chenming manufacturers ALL the cases and they get resold under other names, I.E. Antec.

Buy the Chenming version of the case whenever possible; it's the exact same darn thing!!!! Do not skimp on the PS though. Only an Antec, Enermax, Sparkle, Fortron or Power PC and Cooling will do.

Either Chieftec or Chenming I'd say. Antec is definitely not the original manufacturer.

Anyway, they're the best cases with very good cooling and excellent build quality (plus weight ) , even if you don't mod them.
