  I found a very nice case in a store in Albany NY a few weeks ago.  It
was
  on the pricy side ($146.50) but has some really nice features.  It is
a 
  full tower (I was looking for a mid-), with 6 internal 3.5" bays, one
  external 3.5" bay, and five external 5.25" bays.  The top cover slides
  off and then the two sides slide off.  It's very easy to work in.  The
  really slick part is that the board mounts to a bracket with the rear
  panel, and it then slides into the rear of the case complete with
cards
  attached.  The case takes both AT and ATX form factors, which was what 
  pushed me over the edge.  Yes, it is also a very good looking case.

  I have no idea who the manufacturer is, but I bought it at Logical
Micros
  in Albany NY a couple of weeks ago.  After banging up my knuckels on a
  garbage case at work today, I truely appreciate this one.  I may be
back
  there to buy one for my demos. 

  Fry's, pffft.  They're useless.  I was in the one in San Jose a few
weeks
  ago.  I bought some trinkets and wanted to use traveler's checks.  Not
a
  problem, until I made them out and presented my Vermont driver's
license.
  The cashier didn't want to take an out-of-state license for traveler's
  checks!  Sheesh!  It took me a half an hour to get checked out! 
THere's
  more, but Fry's can keep its merchandise, most of which is a rip-off
  even by woodchuck standards.

  If anyone knows a *good* store in silicon valley, please let me know! 
I'll
  be back there in a couple of weeks.
