best bet if to toss a pic of it up, more then likely someone can identify it 
With that little bit of info you gave us, I would try to go to where the case was built and look on their website for more info. Or, google the name of the company it was bought from and look through the images for that company till you find it.
Where did you get it from?
Or do that lol, I feel a little less smart for my mind not going there.

Well that model case has appeared under many different guises which should help you find a replacement.
For one these were released as Chieftec Dragon cases (I believe the Chieftec is the original OEM):

At some point these cases have been sold by Antec (SX1000), Thermaltake, and Alienware among others.

The Chieftec and Antec are the same case. The "Midtower" is the one with 4 5.25" bays, the "Fulltower" is a ridiculous monstrosity with 6 drive bays (http://www.3dvelocity.com/reviews/dragon/blackdragon_2.htm).
All these cases (including the MX-Pider) look the same because they are essentially the same case manufactured in the same factory. The problem is that this case is ancient (I've had my Chieftec for 7 years) and the version with 80mm fans has been discontinued for quite some time as far as I can tell. Apevia still sells a version of the XPider with 120MM fans, and the front cover should fit. Your best bet is to contact Apevia and see if they sell replacement parts.
Another option is to post in the classifieds section once you have enough posts to see if anyone wants to spare their cover. The keys should be available at a hardware store, its a standard one notch circular key (like the one on big freezers).
