    Well, if you can't find one you like looks wise, then SKIN it. Look at Caseskins for ideas.

    You can also make matching mouse pads and even skin your monitor. :-D

    Or even the fridge. . . . :-P

    Here's the new case I just bought:

    Antec Minuet

    Link 1
    Link 2
    Link 3

    It's even more beautiful than on the pictures!

    I just bought, today, a Radeon 9200 SE low profile.

    I already have a Plextor DVD/CD-R/RW/W combo and a Seagate 120GB HD installed into that case as well.

    I don't know yet if I'm gonna buy a Pegasos II to put in that case or if I'm moving my Pegasos I in it ...

    The problem is not so much the motherboard but trying to cram the cpu card and video card in there too.

    It seems you would have to modify the case in someway to add PCI/AGP cards ... it looks like it's meant to put a motherboard that has almost everything on-board (gfx, sound, LAN, etc).

    Personnaly, I find they look cool, but I wouldn't buy one, simply because I don't like the fact that you can't upgrade at least a bit a computer.

    If you really like those, drop an email to those guys, tell them the dimension of the Peg board you'd like to fit in and if it's not too expensive, why not give it a try? Anyway, it should be quite easy to sell it on eBay if, in the end, it's not to your taste.

    Answer: NO

    These cases are for mini Mobos like the ITX. Cubit 4 is for a P4 - Cubit 3 is for the Via type. Sharp, heavy but extremely cool cases none the less. :-D
