I'm looking for a early AXT case 1995 to 2000ish. Must be mid size or bigger, beige and good cooling for the age. I"m kinda picky on what I'm looking for so if you have something shoot me a photo and I will let you know if I could use it.
Thanks.
 
I've got a small stack of these:

Mine don't have the side panel vent/fan though, and they're the slightly taller variant with 3x 5.25" bays and 2x 3.5" bays. The motherboard comes out on a tray, which is really nice -- that's what made these one of my favorite cases in the early 2000s.

I've got one from 2000.

It's got 4 external 5¼" bays and 2 external, 1 internal 3½" bays.

photo?
 
I've also got another one, similar to the one I mentioned above, but with 3 external 5¼" bays instead of 4.

Which are you more interested in seeing?

Why not both? If its not to much trouble that is?

Also for anyone that is wondering I'm going to be putting a water cooled system in it, likely a dual slot 1 system with is why I'm kinda picky on the case.

EDIT:
by the way thanks for the offers guys.
 
Oh, you probably don't want one of these if you're doing water cooled. Part of the PSU mount/drive cage would probably be in the way -- that's part of why the motherboard slides out on a tray. The ones I have are full ATX, the picture might well be a Micro-ATX version. I just grabbed the first image that looked like what I've got, since what I've got is stacked up with the other beige boxes in the corner of the shop :p

Then you'd probably be more interested in the second one I mentioned since it's roomier inside and already has a case fan mounted under the PSU area.

Ok.
To be honest more then anything im looking for a case with the right look. I don't mind if I have to mod the case some to make it all fit. I have radiators and parts off all shapes and sizes so more then anything ill be working around any problems i run into with space.

Dual slot-1 would be E-atx correct? I don't think most fit into a small midsized tower.

Most are. But I seen a few full size atx boards. I may go dual 370 or 462. I really haven’t made up my mind yet. But im definitely leaning towards dual slot 1

If you want something roomy, full of 80MM fans for cooling, and vintage try to find a E-ATX Thermaltake full tower.

I have a couple Dual Athlon M boards and they are pretty nice, should have AGP Pro also if that matters to you (good for vintage CAD cards).

I had that case before. Nice case, but not what I'm looking for. far to new. I'm looking for something abit more like this. I'll deal with what ever lack of cooling there is by modding the case.

Basically a bigger mid tower with a simple flat design, 2 5-1/2 and one 3-1/4 or more bays.
 
I may have the case you're looking for. It currently has a Pentium 3 or something inside and it's a little yellowed but in nice shape. I'll post a couple pictures later

Thanks. I do not mind yellowing so much as long as the plastic is not brittle and its not too bad. I can always retro-bright it.
 
Thanks for the photos. The first case with the 4 drives bays is not what im after Style wize.
I do like the second one. But if it’s alright with you id like to see what others have to offer as I don’t have room for much parts anymore.

IIRC, the Super Micro P6DBE was an ATX motherboard. I had a few back in the day stuck in ATX mid tower cases.

I wish I had kept one around because I have more Slot 1 PIIIs than I know what to do with.
