British Columbia IBM 5150 - Just the case

[NeXT]

Somehow I've ended up with all the internal bits for a 5150, (130W PSU, later rev 64KB-256KB board, floppy drives, hard disk etc.) but not the actual case itself. I have been unable so far to locate just an empty case. I had one person who said they might have one, but they've been dragging their butt for nearly two years.
Does someone have a shell being used to hold a door open or as a child booster seat?

There is this one on eBay:

Vintage IBM 5150 PC XT Case Only | eBay

Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Vintage IBM 5150 PC XT Case Only at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!

They sent me an unsolicited offer for $65 so it seems they may be willing to negotiate. Still seems a little pricey for just a case, but maybe that’s where we are today.

If you want I can sell my case 5150 empty for 80euro + cost of shipping

You're not too far from Vancouver, have you tried https://disappearinginc.ca/? They might have something like that kicking around...

For someone who has all sorts of wonderful stuff apparently sitting on shelves and ready to sell, he is astoundingly slow if you aren't giving him blank cheques.

Sorry, I had a more local one show up and shipping alone was going to be a major saver.
