You can find custom cases like these at places like Newegg.com or MicroCenter, as well as dozens of other places online. Mine is a Xclio with a 360mm (yes, about 9") fan in the side panel.

I got a steal on mine at Compusa.com now aka TigerDirect. Its made by Ultra and comes with an Ultra power supply too which is decent quality. That is what sold me on this. I had never had a Ultra case before, but the deal I got on it, was Free Shipping, and it was only like $5 more than buying the just the power supply so being it was also aluminum which discipates heat nicely, I jumped on it. I just say, its a bit thin, so don't use it as a step stool and you'll be fine. With my mobo guru software, I get all these alarms, bells and whistles, fan speed rotations, cpu temp, case temp etc etc, so I know what this system is doing 24/7, kinda like a car dashboard, and it has never had a heating problem even when the AC is off in the house and it gets up to 90 degrees in when I am gone. So its not a bad case, but I think I got it on close out and not sure if you can still buy it. The model name is Aluminus by Ultra. InWin and Enlight make some good quality cases too, but they are very expensive. As far as mine lighting up, its on the board, not the case. You can always buy lit Blue, Green, Red LED bars or case fans that will illuminate your case too. But I am more for Cool RUNNING, NOT Cool Looking, so I do not buy that COOL looking stuff. Performance and stability is more important to me. Dayum, I must be getting old !!!

Got Fry's out here too. When I moved from Allentown, PA to Baltimore I was supposed to be starting as an assistant manager at a Fry's, but then the guy who hired me got fired the day I moved, and never got my hiring approved. I ended up without a job, so went back to construction.

You live in a fish bowl too huh. I went to North Carolina a few years ago and saw a CVS store and was oh they have that too when in reality CVS came to us from the east coast. Same with like Best Buy I thought that they were all AZ stores had no idea that they were nation wide franchises. I live in my fishbowl to much.
