Why is there such a price differential betwixt desktop & midi cases ?

Is there some extra material or processing involved in making
desktops.  I'm in the UK, and I was pretty amazed to find one 
supplier selling atx desktop at 55 UKP and atx midi cases at 30.

Perhaps somebody could educate me about the difference.

    Darren - I suspect it is due to the low popularity of the desktop
style case. Most people buy the tower styles, so the production of the
desktop is small, hence the higher cost. I wish the other were cheaper
because I like them too.              Richard Weinberger
