For whatever reason, I love these cases for mid-late 90s and early 2000s builds. I do currently have one, but I'm seeking another for another build I've been planning.

I was hoping someone here might have one, or know of someone or someplace that does (like everything does after some time they seem to have disappeared off eBay and Craigslist).

Doesn't need a PSU or anything, just the case and all the case parts.

Here are some photos I found of what it looks like :)

I almost forgot, I have the Full Tower version of that In-Win Case if you want to build a monster box. You could put everything but the kitchen sink in this thing.

Damn, I threw over a dozen of those out years ago. Couldn't get anyone to take them. I did like them as well, a very nice case for its time.

I fished one out of neighbor's e-waste bin some twenty years ago, built a 440BX machine around it. Donated it to computer-for-techers some fifteen years ago along with all other A500 I had (had something like three of those.)
 
I have a couple old beige Inwin full towers and they are pretty good for old builds IF you have a floppy cable long enough to reach the top of the case where the 3.5" bay is (also depends where the floppy drive connector is on the motherboard).

Airflow kind of sucks on those old cases so don't put a power hungry GPU into one.
 
After thinking about it, those full tower cases would work well too. They're much bigger, but they still have the case style that I liked about the A500s, plus they have more drive bays!

So if anyone has a full tower, I'd be interested in that too (although shipping might be a killer).

Yeah the shipping might be a little crazy. I'm in Arizona, the guy that has a couple in Ohio might be your best bet.
 
I've had one of these cases sitting in the garage for years, never got around to the project I wanted to do with it. It's in fair shape, scuffs and scratches with some blemishes on the top of the case:
