Need help finding this beige full tower

[computerdude92]

I've been searching all over the net for this older full tower. It must be "extremely" rare since It's not on any used part site (ebay, goodwill, recycled goods, atx case sites, etc.) I found it on aiyamicro.com but that site is dead, none of the links work. BTW It's a beige/white server case with 6 optical drive bays and 2 bays for floppies. That's it in the picture below. I think it's a Supertalent or Supermicro 917 series case. If any of you know where I may find it please tell, or if anyone has one to sell, that would mean a lot to me.

Lmao looks interesting to mod

call computer stores? the small local ones that keep old shelf stock.

 

[computerdude92]

The problem is i'm in a small town, so the internet is my only hope.

Closest I could find

That Supermicro case is a monster! 2 inches taller and 1 inch wider, but there's only 2 hard drive spaces. I was looking more towards this case for an alternative, the Aopen HX08 case. It has an extra hard drive rack on top - and it's better styled.
If someone has one to sell, please let me know. Thanks

I had one exactly like that until about 4 days ago, I didn't have any future plans for it so I chucked it in the dumpster.

What are your plans for a case like this?

What are your plans for a case like this?

They are a dream to mod and they have a tonne of space.

 

[computerdude92]

I'm going to use it to build an old school gaming rig and later on mod it to hold a modern system with the classic look.

What are your plans for a case like this?

Possibly repaint it, add fans, etc

Basement:

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. I just went into my basement and snapped a quick photo. However, I don't think she's for sale. I was planning a modded server case in the future... Just had to post the pic, my wife thinks it's just some piece of junk I continue to hang on to for no real good reason.

Ive got this sitting in my pile of parts. Had planned to move my server to it, but Im going to stick with what I have for now.

Only thing is it was modded for dual PSU's at one point. I have the sides to it as well, but missing the 5in bay covers.

Very cool and already has casters on it. Man I miss awesome cases. Have not seen anything that made me really go OOOOO in a LONG time. (Hmm that reminds me, gotta mod up my sisters old gateway box with the vertical hinged doors and the plastic bezeling all over )

 

[Angry]

heh, I love old cases, always fun to play with. My server in my sig is in one, needs redone though.
The above case even has a flip out motherboard tray, I think.

 

[computerdude92]

Thanks everyone for your help!
I've already found the case I needed but thanks all the same.

Computerdude92,

My only question... WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU FIND THAT CSX-917A??? (If that is the one you found ) I am desperately seeking a CSX917D Mini AT Tower for my retro DOS gaming rig... but here I am 3 years later in exactly the same spot you were. No leads, no reference to that case, no one selling on ebay, interloper, amazon, bonanza, etc... please, I'm begging you... if you have any leads for the CSX-917D that I'm looking for please share them. (Or sell the case if you have one lol)

Thanks in advance for your help on this!!

I have a friend that recycles PCs, I can maybe ask him about old AT cases. I have an old AT psu sitting in my garage. Ive got at least 3 AT cases at my parents house but it is a little far away.
