*Warm* MATX Case w/150w PS at MicroCenter B&M - $19.99 + tax

MicroCenter B&M stores have the AMS Electronics mATX Mini-Tower case (model CF-495A) with a 150w PS for only $19.99 + tax. Not bad for those looking to build a small, simple PC. Bought one this morning, but haven't installed any components. Case seems relatively good quality, though I don't like the lack of external 3.5" bays and the molded floppy port.

Link is dead 🙁

I would really appreciate some additional info (is it desktop/tower-style case, dimensions, picture). CDR/RW drives are selling for $20 AR at Staples...any reason to use floppies? 🙂
 
If you look at that case pic,

It does look to have a knockout for a 3 1/2 drive bay under the floppy slot. You can see the trace of a curved edge rectangle.

 
will this case fit a board the size of an abit bx6?

also, is this p/s sturdy enough to run say, a duron 1ghz for example?
 
They also have a Fong Kai 614 with a mitsumi floppy and generic case fan for 24.99.

Not so great online because shipping is $18, but if you live near a Microcenter it is a pretty good deal.
A new floppy alone is going to cost you at least 10 to 15 dollars.
I got one from the local b+m and it's a decent case. Came without a box and a plastic tag saying PowerSpecPC, so these are surplus cases from Microcenters PC line.
